Edit Automatic Pen Move at Dry Off

Edit Automatic Pen Move at Dry Off

If you would like to automatically move animals when you are drying them off this setting in Herd Settings allows you to do this. You can specify a single pen. If you have a more complex scenario that requires you to be able to move animals automatically to multiple dry pens we can accomplish that with protocol enrollments.

To adjust the pen the cow will be moved to at dry off:
1. Open Herd Settings (Setup --> Herd Settings)
2. Once you are on the Herd Settings page, click on Settings; here, we can adjust the dry-off settings 
3. To select the pen for animals to move at dry off, select the drop-down to the right of "Move to at Dry Off"
4. Click Save Changes
Note: You must be a farm admin to change herd settings
