A split is how a single animal is divided between multiple buyers — each portion gets its own cutsheet and its own contact. Farmshare makes it easy to configure splits at the individual head level and assign each portion to the right person.
Getting There
Open the job from your Dashboard, Calendar, or Jobs in the left sidebar. Click the Heads tab, then select the specific animal head you'd like to set up splits for. Click Edit Split Type in the upper right corner.
Configuring the Split
The Edit Split Type & Assignments panel will open. Here you'll set:
Split Type — choose how the animal will be divided. Options include Whole, Half, Quarters, or Half and Two Quarters depending on what you've enabled in your Animal settings.
Inspection Level — confirm or update the inspection level for this head.
Once you select a split type, Farmshare will display a contact assignment field for each portion — Half 1 and Half 2 for a half split, or Quarter 1 through Quarter 4 for a quarters split, and so on.
Assigning Contacts to Each Split
Every split portion requires a contact before you can save. For each portion:
Search for an existing contact by typing their name in the field
Add a new contact by clicking + Add New if the buyer isn't already in Farmshare
Note: If you don't yet know who is taking a particular portion, assign the producer as a placeholder so you can save and come back later to update it.
Click Save when all portions have a contact assigned.
Managing Cutsheets for Each Split
Once splits are assigned, scroll down on the head's detail page to see a card for each split portion. From here you can:
Send a Cutsheet Reminder — click the Send Cutsheet Reminder button on any split card to send that buyer an email prompting them to fill out their cutsheet.
Add a Cusheet manually — if you have a cutsheet on file for a buyer or want to assign one directly, click the Add button on the cutsheet information section of that split card.
Download a Cutsheet — once a cutsheet has been completed or assigned, use the Download button to pull a copy for your records or for use on the cutting floor.
Tip: If a buyer hasn't filled out their cutsheet yet, the Send Cutsheet Reminder button is the fastest way to nudge them — it sends a direct email or SMS with a link to their cutsheet without you having to track down their contact information separately.
