Condition scoring questions

Short answers before you start your free trial.

Do I need an EID reader?

No. Search for each animal instead. A reader just makes a big group quicker.

What scale does FlockFinder use?

The usual 1 to 5 scale, in half points.

How do scores feed culling decisions?

The culling analysis looks at each breeding ewe's latest score. A score below the usual range for that time of year, counted from lambing, is one of the reasons it ranks her for culling.

Can I score just one animal?

Yes. Add a score from the animal's record.

Can I add scores I already have?

Yes. Upload a dated score for each animal from a spreadsheet on a computer.

Keep every condition score in one place.
