Moving animals between paddocks, mobs and groups in Stockbook

How do I move individual or groups of animals between paddocks, groups and mobs in Stockbook?

Note: A mob, a group and a paddock are ways of linking like animals together. An example of a mob is - 2016 DROP. An example of a group is - CULLS. An example of a Paddock is - Hill Paddock. Assigning animals to a mob, a group or a paddock allows them to be retrieved and selected very quickly via one of the filtering methods that Stockbook offers.

Step 1

• Select the Animals you want to change the Paddock, Mob or Group of by either:
  • Using the Filter option, OR
  • Selecting Animals on the Main Animal Screen

Step 2

• Click on the Events button

• In the Events list, under Movements, select one of the options - Group Transfers, Mob Transfers or Paddock/Custom Feedlot,​
• Click on the OK button
   ​

Step 3 - Group/Mob/Paddock Transfers

• Enter the Date of the movement
• Select from the drop down menu the Group/Mob/Paddock the animals are being moved to, OR
• Click on the + button and enter a new Group/Mob/Paddock and filling in the details on the screen. 
• Tick the box next to Save, in the “Temporary Selection” list, the young of any wet female moved’ to save in the Temporary User list.
• Click OK to continue.
• Click Yes to the Confirm message: ' Are you sure that you want to transfer selected animals to group BULLS?'
• Click OK to Information message: ' Event completed.'

Note:  Save in the "Temporary Selection " list, will allow you to locate the young of any wet females moved, so that you can select them and complete the movemet for them as well if required.
