Tally · Data Entry

Species & sex class taxonomy

Every animal is classified by species — cattle, sheep, goat, hog, horse, or other — and by a sex class within that species, which drives eligibility, lotting, and reporting.

Tally classifies every animal two ways: its species and its sex class. Together these decide which sale an animal can go in, how it lots, and how it's reported.

The species are cattle, sheep, goat, hog, horse, and other.

The sex class is the more specific label, by species:

  • Cattle — steer, heifer, cow, bull.

  • Sheep — lamb, ewe, ram, wether.

  • Goat — kid, doe, buck, wether.

  • Hog — barrow, gilt, sow, boar.

  • Horse — gelding, mare, stallion.

  • Mixed — a catch-all for grouped animals that aren't a single class.
