Workings Overview

A working in Cattle360 represents a herd processing session — the digital equivalent of running animals through a chute. Workings let you define a set of tasks, assign animals, and systematically process each animal through those tasks.

What Is a Working?

A working brings together:

A group of animals — Selected from groups, pastures, or individually.
A set of tasks — The procedures to perform on each animal (treatments, branding, castration, etc.).
A processing workflow — Moving through animals one at a time, marking tasks as completed or skipped.

Working Statuses

Status	Description
Draft	The working has been created but not started. You can still add animals and tasks.
In Progress	Processing has begun. Animals are being worked through the chute.
Completed	All animals have been processed and the working is finished.
Cancelled	The working was cancelled before completion.

Task Types

Workings support five types of tasks:

Task Type	Description
Treatment	Administer medication or vaccination. Creates a treatment record on the animal.
Castration	Record castration of the animal.
Brand	Record branding the animal.
Note	Attach a note to the animal.
De-horn	Record dehorning the animal.
