Lots and groups give two methods for sub-dividing animals in the herd. Commonly, groups are used to distinguish management groups of animals (eg dry cows, early lactation, late lactation, heifers etc). Lots allow a further distinction if required.
Each lot and group is given a five character code. New lots and groups are added on to the bottom of the grid.
The distribution of animals between lots and groups, and moving animals can be seen via Animal distribution... Lots and groups
