Changing the breeding ages for males and females.

When recording joinings, the sire is not in the drop down list. If for example, you have used a weaner bull in joinings, it is possible that you need to lower the minimum breeding age so that you can use this animal as a sire.

How do I change the minimum breeding ages for males and females?

To change the minimum breeding ages of animals:

• Click on Setup > Livestock Types menu option.

• Click on Cattle to highlight.
• Click on Edit button.

• Change the number in Min. Male Breeding Age to the appropriate number of days. (For example. If you have used a weaner bull in your breeding program, you may need to reduce the minimum male breeding age, so you can include this animal as a sire.)
• Click OK button.
