Objective
Use this guide to assign each share of your animal to a buyer, either when you schedule the job or afterward, so every share gets a Cutsheet.

This short video walks through the Farmshare portal for Producers and Buyers: logging in, scheduling a job, setting the split and buyers, and filling in a Cutsheet.

Key Steps
Option A: while scheduling the job
Under Animal Details (Optional), pick a Split Type: Whole, Half, Quarters, or Half and Two Quarters.
Under Assign Splits to Buyers (Optional), pick an existing buyer or add a new one with their name and an email or phone number.
Click Schedule Job. Not sure who is buying yet? You can skip the buyers and add them after the job is approved.
Option B: after the job is scheduled
Open Your Jobs and click the job. Red cards still need a Cutsheet.
If needed, click a different split and confirm with Change split type.
On each share's card, choose Myself, an Existing buyer, or a New buyer.
Click Fill in cutsheet for shares you are keeping, or Send request so your buyer gets a link to fill in their own Cutsheet.
Cautionary Notes
Changing the split type clears all buyers, Cutsheets and saved responses on that animal, and it cannot be undone.
Check each buyer's email or phone number before sending. That is the contact they log in with. Producers can't edit an existing buyer's phone or email. Only the processor or Farmshare support can update that contact information.
Use an Existing buyer from your Customers list where you can, to avoid duplicate records.
As a Producer, your animals are under Your Jobs. If you only see Your Orders, you are logged in as a buyer. Log in with the phone or email your Processor contacts you on. If you are both a Producer and a Buyer on the same contact info, you will see both tabs.
Buyers (end customers) cannot reassign a split. If someone else will be picking up your order, let your processor know in the chat, or reply to the text message they sent you. Producers can reassign the buyer by clicking the three dots near the Split, unless the split is locked. As of October 26, 2026, a producer can't change the buyer on a split until the processor unlocks it. If you cannot change the buyer, ask your processor to unlock the split.
Tips for Efficiency
Review all of your jobs in one pass to catch missing buyers early.
Assign buyers right after you set the split so requests go out sooner.
Use the checklist on the right of each job to see what is still missing.
