New GMS Reports:

  • Horn Growth Report:


This new report offers  the ability to monitor horn growth of one animal from the animal's Herd Inventory record using the last button on the left or all animals in a herd from the Breeder Package Menu Horn Growth icon.

In order to populate data for this report, please open the Herd Inventory portion of GMS and upload a picture of the animal, taking care to configure the Image Date as the date that the picture was taken so that accurate horn growth data can be calculated.  

Once the picture is uploaded, click the Score button, choose the appropriate scoring type, and complete the score.  The report can only be run for a single scoring type.  You cannot score an animal over multiple types for the report to generate accurate information.   If you run this report from the Herd Inventory view, it will run it for whatever scoring method  used for that particular animal.
