Because the offspring are not created in AgriWebb yet, the Marking record is found on the maternal mob. Marking is available for the following age classes:

To change livestock's Age Class, check out this article on how to Edit Livestock Details. If you are looking to create offspring from your lambs, you will need to wean them first.

Create a Marking record on the Mobile App by selecting the Map and pressing on the Livestock option.

Tap on the livestock group you would like to create the marking record for and navigate to the Mob tab > select Mob and click into a specific Mob.

From here, press More at the bottom-right of the screen and then hit Mark.

If you have multiple livestock groups in this paddock, then you will be asked if you would like to mark all maternal livestock, or just the selected livestock. If you choose to mark all maternal livestock, then a list of these groups will display underneath.

If you sex your lambs or calves at marking you are given the option to split them when creating the record. If you don’t do this until weaning, you can group them as a single livestock group. You will have another opportunity to split them within the weaning record later in the season.

Continue reading to learn how to split and move these livestock.

Ensure that Create a single group is not selected.

Set the size of each livestock group and press Next. On the 'Marking' Tab you will fill in the mob details. Once you are finished, you can Draft & Split your new livestock to move them into other paddocks.

The livestock you would like the record applied to can be selected from your farm map or from the livestock tab.

Start by pulling up your farm map and selecting the green + add button

Select Mob and then select the species. Then a menu will pop up with 4 options, select the Marking option.

Start by pulling up your farm map and select the mob you would like the record applied to. The Mob tab must be selected> Select the livestock you would like the record applied to> Create Mob Record.

Select the Livestock tab from the side bar. Select the mob you would like the records applied to> Add Records.

Select Marking ​

Alternatively, select New Mobs, and select the Marking record option.

The marking record allows you to enter all the details for the new lamb or calf mobs, including a Date of birth which is seperate from the marking date. Simply enter the date of marking at the top of the form and add the Date of birth below. Note: auto ageing is based off the animals birth date.

If you sex your lambs or calves at marking you are given the option to split them when creating the record. If you don’t do this until weaning, you can leave them as a single livestock group and split at weaning.

To split the lamb or calf count by sex, check the Create sexed mob checkbox, and enter the number of calves/lambs marked.

Then fill in the details for each sexed group.
​

Continue on by adding in any additional details including movements and treatments. Once everything is entered "Save" the record in the bottom right corner.

We recommend marking paddock by paddock. This way you ensure the correct locations of your mobs and also the link between dams and offspring.

You can mark multiple paddocks at a time, but all the dams and offspring will be moved into the same paddock. You can create a draft/split record after the marking record.

You will see this warning message when marking mobs across multiple paddocks.

Marking allows you to enter marking date, birth date, new paddock location and add treatments. Once you have entered all mob information make sure you select the Save button.

To access the marking report head to Web > Reports > Marking records.

This report collates all marking record history on your farm. You'll be able to select from the following data points to report on.

To access the fertility report head to Web > Reports > Fertility.

Your fertility report lets you assess your productivity and natural increase across the season including your marking percentage (ensure you have created marking records not just added mobs or lambs or calves).

The fertility report organises your joining, scanning, marking and weaning records by maternal breed, age-class and tag colour.

For accurate reporting, select a period which spans from joining to weaning. To learn more about customising your reports, check out our article on Reporting.
