Adding new calves - cannot change paddock

When adding a new calf to Stockbook it is possible to set the mob, group and paddock to default to that of its Dam

This allows Stockbook to assume the calf is not yet weaned from the dam when it is being entered. 

To reassign the calf to its correct location a paddock movement is required.

To Setup Stockbook to automatically assume the calf is in the same mob, group and paddock as the dam:

1. Select Setup
   
2. User Options
   

​

 

Step 2. Select the Options tab

Untick Use dam's mob, group and paddock

 

Be aware that if you change this it will not set a default for any animal from this movement forward.
