Next is building loads for each pen. We will walk through each step for building and editing your loads. After you build these loads you are all set to start feeding with the Performance Beef system.
Step One:
Make sure all pens on “Overview” page have a ration and targeted feed amount. If not- give them one based on the group of cattle in the pens.
*Please Note* In this example I have 500 head from the same group of cattle, but split between two different pens.
Go to the “Delivery” page
Select the notification on top of the screen to see where and what loads need placing.
In this example, you will see that I have 6 loads that need to be placed.
**When you are placing your loads you can only add/combine loads (or drops) to pens receiving the same ration and the same drop.**
I am going to start by creating a new load for my North Lot and South Yard. I want them to both be “Drop 1”, for my morning feeding.
Enter “Pens” and “Drop”
Then click “Save”
The system pulls the information from the overview page to enter how much I am feeding. Then after I click “save” you can see it sets the ration for those two drops.
Load 1 has a Finisher ration going to the East Yard and drop one so I am going to add the West Yard Finisher ration to load 1.
Start by clicking “Edit” on Load 1
Then enter I’ll enter West Yard in the “Add Pen” drop down tab
“Select Drop” (drop 1 for this example)
Then Click “Save”
Once all your loads are placed, you can reorder your loads to have your drops in order. Simply select “Reorder” in the upper left-hand corner, drag into your correct order then click save.
