Track Your Animals

Counts first, names optional, then the rest builds on that

Everything below builds on the step before it — the animal picker in Medical and Milking is literally fed by the roster you build here. Start at the top even if you just want to log a vet visit.

1 · Just a headcount — Animal Groups

Open Animal Groups and tap a species chip, type a number, tap Add— "6 goats" takes two taps and no names. This is the zero-effort starting point every other step reads from.

Tap a species chip, type a headcount, optionally give the group a name.

Later, use ＋ Add / － Remove on the group card with a reason chip (born, bought, died, sold, butchered) — the count updates and the reason is saved. History shows every change.

2 · Naming an animal (roster)

Tap 🏷 Name oneon a group card to graduate a single animal into its own per-species roster — the count never goes below the number you've named. Prefer to skip headcounts entirely? Open the roster (e.g. Goat Roster) and add a named animal directly, with breed, sex, and herd.

Both paths land in the same roster: named-one-at-a-time and added-directly.

3 · Breeding events & due dates

Once an animal has a name, log a breedingevent on its species page (Goat Events, Cow Events, etc.) — the app does the gestation math for you (goats ~150 days, cows ~283 days, and so on) and treats an incubator "set" the same way for hatch dates.

A breeding event logged for a named animal — the roster is what makes this picker possible.

⚠️ The estimated due date doesn't appear on the in-app Calendar page. It rides along automatically in your Calendar Syncfeed (Plus) — the private link your phone's Calendar app subscribes to.

4 · Medical records

Open Medical — that dropdown is fed by the roster you built in step 2, which is why the order matters.

  1. 1Pick Animal type, then the animal (or Or whole group for a herd-wide treatment — no name needed).
  2. 2Pick the Event — treatment, vaccination, dewormer, and more each reveal their own fields.
  3. 3Add a Cost (mirrors into Finance automatically) and a Follow-up date (joins the Calendar Sync feed).
Species → animal → treatment → cost → follow-up, all on one form.
Species → animal → treatment → cost → follow-up, all on one form.

Goats, cows, pigs, sheep, horses, and rabbits also get treatment events (with withdrawal dates) logged right on their own species page — those roll into this same Medical feed automatically, so it's one place to review.

5 · Milking

Cow Milking and Goat Milkingboth pick the animal from the same roster. Log each session's volume or weight, and trends show up in Stats.

A logged session — the animal field is the same roster name, every time.

Where it all shows up

Everything you log lands on its actual date in Calendar and Daily Log; totals and trends roll up in Stats.
