Recording exits: sold, died, and transfers
How to record when an animal leaves your property or dies.
When an animal leaves your records — whether sold, transferred, or deceased — recording an exit keeps your headcount accurate and creates a clean audit trail.
Record an exit
- 1Open the animal's detail page
- 2Tap the Exit button (arrow icon)
- 3Choose the exit type: Sold, Transferred, Deceased, or Other
- 4Enter the date and any notes (sale price, destination PIC, cause of death)
- 5Tap Save
Exit types
- Sold — animal sold at saleyards, private sale, or prime
- Transferred — moved to another property or owner
- Deceased — died on farm (record cause for disease monitoring)
- Other — any other reason
After an exit
Exited animals are removed from your active headcount but remain in your records for reporting and NLIS export purposes. You can view exited animals by filtering the Animals list by status.
For NLIS reporting, record the destination PIC and the NVD/waybill number in the notes field. The NLIS export includes exit events.
