Draft & Split (Mob)

Draft and Split your livestock with ease in Mob Management

Updated this week

This guide is specific to the mob management subscription. If you are on individual management, please refer to this article on drafting in the yards using the live sessions function.

There are two methods to draft and split livestock on the Mob Management platform. You can split mobs during a movement record (using the 'Drag & Drop' method) OR you can use the stand alone Draft / Split record.

When using the 'Drag & drop' movement record method, you will be given the option to draft & split the livestock.

Select the Livestock tab at the top of the Map.

Finally, press Save to complete the split of animals. 

After you have split your livestock off, you may want to assign a Management Tag to help identify them by certain groupings. Find out more in our Management Tags article.

You split your mobs via the livestock tab, by navigating to Add Record > Split

From there, you will need to select the desired mobs that you'd like included within the record, using the Select mobs button.

Once added you'll then have the opportunity to choose whether a mob is being split into one paddock, or across a range of paddocks and you can select the number of head assigned to each one.

Once a split record is saved, it will appear in the history for the respective mob so that you can differentiate between normal paddock movements and splits.
