Live Sessions - Multi-templates (Individuals)
Updated over a month ago

Multi-template live sessions are used when you need to record separate records for different groups of animals or classes of stock.

Common examples include:

  • Treating heifers and steers with different chemical

  • Drafting based on weight groups

  • Drafting and/or assigning management groups based on age class, sex, weight or pregnancy status.

If you are bringing animals through that require uniform records, see this article that explains our 'Single Templates'.
