Updated this week

The first step is to create a rotational plan via the Web App. See this article for instructions on how to create a rotational plan.

While doing livestock movements, you can make adjustments to an existing rotational plan to keep it up to date.

Potential Movement Conflicts

When planning your rotation, you may run various mobs throughout the same paddocks at the same time. If there are any conflicts, they will be identified through the Rotational Planner when designing your rotation. See the Rotational Planner article here. See also, the Grazing Chart for historic data on paddock rotations and stock load.
