What you will learn

Record only, and Follow-up

Here are the rule types in plain words. Record only. Nothing is scheduled, you log it when you do it, like Dectomax. Follow-up. Due some days after another task was done, like a booster 28 days after dose one. Follow-up, once only. Like a follow-up, but only the first time, like Valbazen after the first Dectomax.

Repeat, and Every year

Repeat every. Due some days after the last dose. It starts once you have logged the first one, like a drench every 90 days. Every year. Due every year on a date. Animals with no history are due straight away, like Blu-Vax on the first of August. Every year, wait for the next date. Like every year, but it waits for the next date instead of nagging about one that has passed, like a ram check before breeding.

Lambs and new animals

Days after birth. For lambs, some days after the birth date, like a booster at four weeks. And New animal or lamb age. Once, when a new animal has settled in, or when a lamb reaches an age, like a first dose for new sheep.
