Overview

Stock Class Settings 

​

This section displays the current stock class conversion ages for different animal types and provides the ability to modify these. These conversion ages are used in conjunction with the animal's birth date in the following ways in the application:

  • Individual Animal Records - Displays the animal's current stock class if it has a birth date set in it's individual record

  • Filters - Filter individual animal records with birth date entries by stock class for adding common data to all or to calculate associated metrics 

  • Drafting - Draft individual animals with birth date entries by stock class

​

Notes:

  • The Calf and Lamb buttons are disabled but shown to provide a complete list of stock classes in the system

  • The acceptable range allowed for any stock class conversion month entry will be from 1 month above the entry to the left and one less than the entry to the right (except Mixed age which will have a set limit of 36)
