Animal Properties

The table below shows all of the animal properties that can be used in lists and reports. Some properties are derived from events that are defined. If you define additional events and modify the existing events, this list will change to reflect that. See Event Types for an explanation of the standard event types.

NOTE: If your herd is set up for dairy goats, some of the property names will be different. For example, Last Calving Date will appear as Last Kidding Date.
