Process Documentation

To help you quickly leverage StockManager to improve results and processes, we have worked with our partners on a training framework focused on common livestock processes. These processes are listed below for the following farm types:

• Annual Lifecycle - common set of livestock processes starting at breeding selection and ending at animal sale

• Feed Planning - 

• Health Planning - 

• Specialty - incremental or specialty processes​

  • Finishing - 

  • Grazing - adds check-in, reporting and check-out processes

  • Wool - includes wool grading and additional attributes for breeding selection

  • Velvet - includes velvet grading and additional attributes for breeding selection ​
