Adding new calves - cannot change paddock

Summary

When adding in a new animal after choosing the dam I cannot change the location/mob or group of the calf as it defaults to the dam, how can this be changed? 

Detailed Description

This occurs as Stockbook assumes that the calf is not yet weaned from the dam when it is being entered. 

The best way to do reassign the calf to its correct location is to do a paddock movement once you have entered the calf so that its movements reflect that it was with the cow for the beginning of its life before being weaned. 

If you do not want Stockbook to automatically assume and enter this information the setting can be changed by following the steps below: 

Go to Setup > User Options

 

Select the Options tab > Untick Use dam's mob, group and paddock

 

Be aware that if you change this it will not set a default for any animal from this movement forward.
