Create a mob of sheep with no ID tags

Quickly create a mob of sheep on the go and have the option to add tags at a later date. Until tags have been added to the corresponding animals, you cannot record activities against these animals.

 

Creating a mob of sheep this way simply achieves a number of animals against a group that you can move to different locations.

You cannot record weights or medicines to this group and numbers do not count toward your overall stock tally on farm until you convert them to identifiable (tagged) animals.

This guide will show you how you can create a mob of untagged sheep via the mobile and web app followed by how to convert untagged animals into animals with ID's.

Please note you can only covert animals via the mobile app.
