AgriWebb uses age classes to help you better manage your stock on farm from a management and reporting perspective. Each age class is made up of a number of characteristics including sex, weaning status, fertility status and if they have produced offspring.

Getting your animals into AgriWebb with the correct age class and keeping your weaning, castration and birth records up to date, will mean that AgriWebb can automatically age your animals. Take a look at the tables below to see the definition of each age class available.
