New calves born on the holding are added to the FarmWizard Herd Register by recording a Birth (Calving) event for the dam.  This requires the Breed Cycle Manager, which provides functions to manage the cow breeding calendar.

 

Recording a Birth event on FarmWizard causes the following to be updated in your herd records:

 

•The cow is moved to the “pre-heat” breed status and it’s breeding history updated

•The calf is enrolled on your herd list and optionally, the passport application request is made to the Government database (a reportable event)

•The FarmWizard Herd Register records the calf birth event

 

If you have downloaded your available ear tags from the CTS, simply pick the required tag from the list. Otherwise, type in the full ear tag number – “UK” followed by 12 digits.
