Should the stock class be recorded as a ewe hogget or a two tooth?The date the event took place
Reflects the date stock came onto the farm or left.Quantities
The number of stock recorded on the invoice or credit note.Weights
Live or carcass weight.
Tips
Did you know you can attach your kill sheet or sale/purchase invoice directly to your transactions? Find out more
Code the transaction to the correct stock class in your database, not necessarily how you class them in the paddock.
For example, if you open with 'xxx' number of trade hoggets in Farm Focus, continue to code any related stock events to that stock class, even if the invoice lists them as a younger animal
If you need to split the transaction between multiple stock classes, adjust the Line amount and use Add new line for additional stock details
If you sell or purchase stock around balance date, make sure you record the correct event date so that accurate closing stock numbers are captured in the livestock rec
Be consistent in the way you record stock weights, either all live weight or all carcass weight
