Herds & Groups

Grouping animals for management — a herd, a lot going to auction, a mob on a specific camp, or a temporary treatment group — without losing the history of who was in which group and when.

Audience: owners, farm staff Part of the LITS guide set

What this guide covers: creating and managing groups of animals, and how membership history is preserved as animals move between groups.

What it doesn't cover: assigning a group in bulk from the Animals page — see Animals's bulk actions.

Creating a group

Creating a group

Found at LITS → Herds & Groups — a card grid, one card per group, showing its member count and active/inactive state. Click New Group and set a name, description, and a type:

TypeTypical use
HerdA standing management herd.
LotAnimals grouped for a sale or auction.
Camp GroupAnimals currently sharing a camp.
MobA working grouping for a specific task.
DraftA provisional grouping, not yet finalised.
Treatment GroupAnimals being treated or vaccinated together.
Membership

Membership & history

Click a group's card to open its detail drawer and manage members — add or remove animals directly, or assign them in bulk from the Animals page. Every membership records a joined date and, once an animal leaves, a left date — so an animal's full group history is preserved rather than overwritten each time it moves.
