What can you do in the Sessions section of the app?

• Record weights and draft animals to multiple groups or locations depending on conditions set based on weight, sex and/or days on farm. 
• Connect to EID readers and/or weigh heads for hands free weighing (See instructions on compatible Bluetooth devices and how to connect them here.) 
• Note: iOS and Android devices vary in how they connect with the Breedr app: see how
• Manually input animal ID and/or weights if you do not have compatible equipment
• Update VID and EID as you go 
• Onboard new animals 
• Log activities such as move-off events; administering medicines; treatments and financials as you go
• Pause the session and restart at any time
• Work without stable service or while offline , just allow the mobile app to sync while in service or online beforehand and save the session once back online.
  
  

When adding animals into Breedr, you have two options for scanning. If you are recording weights and using a chute, use Quick Weigh. If you are scanning EIDs and adding animals to Breedr for the first time, you can use Quick Scan.

Quick Weigh - Records animals' weight information as they go through the chute.

Quick Scan - Scan multiple animals without using the chute or capturing their weights.

Chute Setup and Templates - Set parameters to sort animals into groups or locations based on conditions such as weight, sex, date on ranch or tags.
