Entering Records

Recording Births

Click on “Record Births” on the menu bar. Like entering purchases, you enter births in a batch. If you’re only entering one, that’s fine. It’s just a batch of one animal.
Enter the ear tag number of the animal you are recording, its parents and date of birth. Select its type and breed from your personal lists (click “Add” to add a new entry to your list).
Click “Add to Batch” and add the rest.
You can fix mistakes by selecting the animal you want to re-enter from the list and clicking on “Delete Line”. Then simply enter it again.
Once you have entered all the cattle in the batch, click on “Confirm and Record” to view a list with all the details that you have entered. Check your entries and fix any errors by clicking on the “Go Back” link.
You can send a Passport Application to the BCMS electronically once you have returned a signed copy of the Terms of Service to CattleController (click here for a copy) by clicking on “Record and Send”. If you would rather send the application manually, click on “Record without Sending”.
The births will be recorded and you’ll be transferred to the main Summary page where you can see your updated stock summary and stocking density. Your Herd Register and Movement Book will be automatically updated.
If you chose to send the passport application to the BCMS electronically, we will forward their confirmation of receipt notice within 3 days.
