🐄 Herd health condition — the writes

Illustrative of 2026-09-07: healthCondition set on all 43 cattle, plus 4 cows amended individually — comments on Tulip, Bug and Chalky, and a weight correction on Spots. Records only — no animal was handled or treated.

1. Across the herd

Before this pass, healthCondition existed on only 2 of 43 animals (Beany and Twilight, both healthy). It is now set on every head.

2. The three flagged cows

All flagged from weight history alone. Tulip and Bug show a decline that does not fit a healthy Jersey — written sick. Chalky is growing, just slowly — left healthy with a watch note. comment was absent on all three before.

Cow	Weight trend (Sep 2024 → today)	`healthCondition`	`comment` — added
Tulip `cow010` 2.3 yr	−40 kg (−11%) May–Aug, then flat	~~— none —~~ sick	Progressive weight loss ~40 kg (355→315 kg, −11%) between May and Aug 2026, now plateaued. Likely parasitism or subclinical disease; recommend body condition score and faecal egg count.
Bug `cow025` 8 yr	−46 kg (−13%) steady since Jan	~~— none —~~ sick	Steady monotonic weight loss ~46 kg (406→360 kg, −13%) since Jan 2026. Chronic condition in an 8-year-old; likely parasitism, dental wear, or Johne's disease. Recommend vet exam, dentition check and faecal test.
Chalky `cow020` 1.6 yr	+237 kg steady — ~0.41 kg/day, ~15% under target	healthy (unchanged)	Healthy but under observation. Average daily gain ~0.41 kg/day since Feb 2025, tracking roughly 15% below Jersey weight target for age; growth continuous with no stall. Review ration and worm burden; re-weigh monthly.

3. Data fix — Spots

The Aug→Sep reading jumped +63 kg against a history of +9–20 — physiologically impossible, so a mis-weigh. Corrected to a value consistent with the trend; healthCondition left healthy.

Cow	Weight trend	`weight`	`healthCondition`
Spots `cow040`	reported 349, corrected to 300	~~349 kg~~ 300 kg	healthy (unchanged)

The mis-weigh is why Spots showed as a growth flag in the earlier health review — the fix removes the anomaly, not a real gain.
