Advanced Form Fields

If you have recorded the sire details as part of a joining record, artificial insemination record or scanning record we will present you with the list of possible sires. Options are sorted by how close they are to the estimated fetal age, and if it is within 2 weeks the closest sire is selected.

Additional costs can be entered by selecting Add additional cost at the bottom of the form. This can be used for labour and other additional costs. You may record as many of these costs as required.
