Other Software Updates & Enhancements

This can be very handy when working with PVP (Process Verified Programs) or keeping track of what feed you have fed. The Restricted portion will be important if you sell calves with a PVP program, and they may contain animal byproducts, antibiotics, or restricted or prohibited ingredients. You can also add a photo of the feed tag and feed letter (required for PVP programs).
Group Update: Group Update enables you to update records for multiple animals at one time. Additional information can now be updated for multiple animals, including:
- Castrate multiple bull calves to create steer calves using the Record Calfhood Procedures.
- Add a breeder for multiple animals.
- Bulk fill in the sire using the “Update DNA Parentage.”
Share Your Sales Tickets: After you have created a sales ticket for animals that you have sold, you can now share that sales ticket with the buyer if they also use CattleMax.
Inventory Time Machine: With only the entry of a date, you can produce an active animal inventory report for that specific date in the past, including animal age on that specific date.You can now show Electronic ID numbers in your report.
Account Roles: Updates to the role-based permissions enable you to better delegate access.
We hope you find these new updates helpful. As always, we welcome feedback and suggestions.
