For dairy farms, Trev provides a few different ways to record your replacement/young stock depending on your farm’s preference.

Option 1 : Weekly Recording

This is when you’ll add a new event each reporting week with the total cumulative number of calves for that particular seven day period.

Create a Livestock Event in the Stock Module:

  1. Click Add Another at the top of the section

  2. Complete the Event card by selecting the appropriate Stock Class e.g. Heifer Calves, Bull Calves

  3. Select the Natural Increase event type

  4. Put in the number of calves for that reporting week

  5. Then click the blue Add button

Note: For ultimate visibility, you could also record these on a daily basis.

Option 2 : Cumulative Recording

This is when you’ll edit your existing event each reporting week with the total cumulative number of calves season to date.

Create one Livestock Event in the Stock Module at the beginning of calving:

  1. Click Add Another at the top of the section

  2. Complete the Event card by selecting the appropriate Stock Class e.g. Heifer Calves, Bull Calves

  3. Select the Natural Increase event type

  4. Put in the cumulative number of calves as at that point and time

  5. Then click the blue Add button

Edit the Livestock Event each week with the cumulative number of calves:

  1. Click on the blue edit pencil on the right of the Natural Increase event

  2. Adjust the No. of Animals to the total cumulative number of calves at that point and time

  3. Click on the blue Update button

Don’t Forget! Once the total number of desired replacements for the season is reached the number should be left unchanged for upcoming reports.
