- 1Open Livestock and choose Cattle.
- 2Tap add, and choose From birth.
- 3Pick the date of birth and the calf's sex.
- 4Select the mother from your herd, and record the breed and sire.
- 5Save. Your herd grows by one, with the calf linked to its parents.
Because the calf is linked to its dam and sire, its pedigree is on record from day one — useful later for breeding decisions and for tracking which cows produce the best calves.
Note: A birth record has no seller or price — the animal's cost basis starts at zero, so any eventual sale shows as gain.
