How to manage stalls on DairyLogs

Create and review DairyLogs stalls (pens/barn sections) with animal counts and P&L per stall.

Herd → Stalls organizes animals into pens or barn sections. Each stall shows animal count and P&L so you can compare groups, not only individuals.

Steps

Open Stalls: From Herd, open Stalls in the sidebar (or /dashboard/herd/stalls).
Review pen performance: Check animal count and P&L per stall to spot groups that cost more to feed or produce less milk.
Assign animals: When adding or editing an animal, set the stall field so the pen totals stay correct. Move animals as groups change.

Name stalls the way staff speak on the farm (e.g. Fresh pen, Dry barn) so assignment stays consistent.
Unassigned animals skew herd totals but disappear from stall P&L—assign housing after purchases and calvings.

— FAQ

01What is a stall in DairyLogs?

A stall is a pen or barn section used to group animals. The stalls page shows how many animals are housed there and the P&L attributed to that group.

02Do I need stalls to log milk?

No. Milk is logged per animal. Stalls help housing and group economics, and they make the herd list easier to filter.

03How do I move a cow between stalls?

Edit the animal’s stall field on her profile (or during add/edit). The old and new stall counts update from that assignment.
