Use this guide to set how an animal is split, who each share goes to, and how each share's Cutsheet gets filled in.
Watch the walkthrough
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
1. Open the job
Go to Your Jobs. Every animal you have booked is listed there, and red cards still need a Cutsheet. Click the job to open it. Once your Processor approves it, the job shows Scheduled with a checklist on the right of what is left to do.
2. Choose or change the split
Click the split you want: Whole, Half, Quarters, or Half and Two Quarters. Farmshare asks you to confirm in a Change split type window. Click Change split type.
3. Assign each share
Each share has its own card. Choose Myself, an Existing buyer, or a New buyer. For a new buyer, enter their name and an email or phone number.
4. Get each Cutsheet filled in
Shares you are keeping: click Fill in cutsheet, then Fill Out New Cutsheet (or pick a saved one).
Shares for buyers: click Send request. Your buyer gets a link to fill in their own Cutsheet. The card shows the request was sent and when the buyer responds. Use Resend request if they need a reminder.
5. View a Cutsheet you already filled out
Go to Your Jobs and open the job/animal. Your Cutsheet is on the share's card. (The Mine tab under Fill in cutsheet is for reusing a saved Cutsheet on a new share, not for viewing one you already submitted.)
Cautionary Notes
Changing the split type clears all buyers, Cutsheets and saved responses on that animal, and it cannot be undone. Set the split before anyone fills in a Cutsheet.
Double-check each buyer's email or phone number before you send a request. That is the contact they will log in with.
Pick an Existing buyer when they are already in your Customers list so you don't create duplicates.
Tips
Work in this order: open the job, set the split, assign buyers, then fill in or send Cutsheets.
Use the checklist on the right of the job to see what is still missing.
