When you first create your farm business in Farm Focus, your first working plan is automatically created for you and you must enter your actual opening livestock numbers.
In following years the closing numbers (aged up) will become the next year opening numbers (although this can be overriden if needed).
Opening numbers in your first working plan
When you first set up your business, a notification will appear in the top right corner of your screen, prompting you to enter opening livestock numbers into your working plan.
Click on the notification bell.
Select the message Opening Livestock Numbers.
You'll be taken to the Livestock screen of your working plan.
Editing Opening Numbers
The prior year closing numbers automatically become the next years opening numbers in the working plan. These can be edited if required, but ideally the prior years stock numbers will be accurate. Don't hesitate to draw a line in the sand however if your stock numbers are inaccurate.
Click on the Settings icon at the top right corner of the livestock grid.
Select Livestock.
Enter opening numbers for each stock class.
Click Save to finish.
TIP: Click on the arrow next to the stock code. This lets you record opening numbers for each stock class.
