Move Stock records the physical movement of stock from one location to another.
There are two method by which you can record the movement of stock; within Phoenix Livestock as outlined below or via the drag and drop Production Map.
To record the movement:
•Select the mob/s using a combination of the Selection Panel with the Animal Panel.
•Click 
on the Toolbar and select Move Stock.
•If you tick Agistment you will be presented with the option to record the cost associated with the agistment. This is in the form of $/head/unit of time. Select from the dropdown lists the To Property and Paddock.
•On Feed/Off Feed is for identifying animals moving on and off feed in an intensive feeding operation for auditing purposes.
•Enter the number of head that are moving to the new location. If the mob in question is split across multiple locations then beside the No. of Head field you will be presented with an Allocate button. Click the Allocate button and on the right, enter how many head from which location/s are being moved. Make sure to enter 0 against any location that animals are NOT being moved from. When finished, click OK
•Enter the remaining details and when finished, click Save.
NB: If the movement is for an Agistment, the Agistment cost will auto calculate per the unit of time set and display the total expense in the history list. To finish an Agistment, select Move Stock and select the type as a Movement. This will stop the auto calculation of Agistment cost.
If you are bringing someone else’s stock onto your property on an agistment basis and you are choosing to record that stock, then separate this unowned stock from your own stock by Class. That is, create Classes for any stock not owned by you, separately from the Classes of your own stock.
Note: Classes for stock not owned by you should not be linked to Financial livestock Sub-accounts. See Integration with Financial for more information.
When Agisted On stock arrives, Phoenix Livestock does not know of these animals. Normally, when you purchase stock, you will use a Purchase Transaction in Phoenix Livestock to introduce the new animals. However, in the case of stock that arrives for agistment, you will not be purchasing them, therefore you will need a different method to introduce the stock to Phoenix Livestock.
To record the return of the stock to the owner’s property (or to any other property), record the shift in the same way as any other shift.
Once animals have been returned and the class is no longer required, you can set the status of the class to "Inactive" to remove it from the Selection Panel.
