Today, we put EID tags into all of the current and potential breeding ewes. We tagged 69 ewes in 1.5 hours using the LambTracker® ConvertToEID module. We also took notes on several sheep, and we decided not to put tags on the sheep scheduled for the butcher soon.
Everything in the LambTracker® program worked properly. The user interface seemed to work better with the Alert button close to the tag input button, making it easier to see a sheep with an alert of some type.
The Note section was conceived and added between last night and today, and it also worked properly. I have a few ideas for refinements, but the function was there – I just need to make it a bit simpler to use.
Our state veterinarian came up to assist and observe. I was thrilled that everything worked properly.
