When entering records of cows (via Animal records... Individual animal details or Batch data ... Add or amend basic animal details), time considerations or lack of data my leave the animal record incomplete. For example opening a record for a cow in its fifth parity only requires the parity number (5) and the date of the latest calving date.
If you attempt to enter an event that precedes the calving date, it is necessary to activate that parity record. Events during that parity can then be entered.
