Area 

  • Feedlot

  • Laneway

  • Pen

  • Vegetation 

  • Yard

Animals can be moved to any of these above areas (now including laneways and vegetation). Note: Areas created prior to March 2020 cannot have animals added to them. To resolve this, simply delete that area and draw it out with our new tools.

Grazing Days Remaining and Food on Offer records are not applicable to these areas.

Note: Adding vegetation within a paddock won't deduct their area from the total paddock area. You can edit the details of a paddock to adjust the arable/grazable area to account for the vegetation.
