Adding an individual animal to a draft (sort) list

An individual animal can be manually added to a draft (sort) list for the Dairy Drafter/Sort Gate

Updated over a month ago

You can manually add an individual animal to a draft list for the Dairy Drafter/Sort Gate. You may want to do this if you observe an animal which needs an intervention (e.g. she has a loose collar) or has a health issue (e.g. she has a strange lump on her back).

📝 If you don't see the Add to draft list option, check that you have Member or Admin permissions.

📝 If an animal is manually added to a draft list and she is NOT drafted during the milking session, she will NOT be added to the next draft list automatically. This will need to be done manually.
