Use **Livestock Event** to record the husbandry work and observations your team carries out. First create the Husbandry Practice categories you need, then record who performed each activity and when.

1. For a simple observation, open Daily Farm Entry and select the flock context.
2. Choose Observation, select the Husbandry Practice, and enter notes and optional end time.
3. Save the resulting event. It initially has status **Open**.
4. Open the Livestock Event, confirm Starts On, Ends On, Company, House, Batch, and Performed By, then set **Completed** once the activity has been performed.

*Completed Livestock Event with start/end times, practice, performer, and notes.*

Completed events are included in lifecycle history. Planned/open work does not represent a completed lifecycle activity. Ends On must not precede Starts On; if omitted, it defaults to Starts On.

Use the standard Livestock Event form for **Pregnancy Check**, including individual Serial No and structured pregnancy details. Daily Farm Entry intentionally excludes that practice. Completed pregnancy checks participate in reproduction counts; a general free-text observation does not replace them.
