      Update or add animal EID or VIDs in Quick Weigh

      If it is the first time you are updating EIDs for all or a large majority of animals in the weigh session, it is recommended to go to Crush Setup before starting the weigh session. If you have a small amount of animals which require an updated EID/VID you can update this when the individual animal individual animal comes through on the weigh session.
