Summering has its own module in Herdy. The full guide is under Summer pasture. This page only summarises what summering has to do with the TVD.
Which notifications summering triggers
| Event | Notification | Who files it |
|---|---|---|
| Alp ascent | Departure notification with the reason «summering» | the home farm, via Herdy |
| Arrival on the alp | Arrival notification | the alp operation |
| Departure from the alp | Departure notification | the alp operation |
| Alp descent (return) | Arrival notification | the home farm, via Herdy |
| Death on the alp | Departure «disposed as carcass» | the summering farm, not Herdy |
| Sale from the alp | Arrival notification with the alp as origin | the buyer, not Herdy |
| Missing animal | none | nobody, no notification type exists |
Herdy creates the notifications as a batch and shows per animal whether it was submitted, confirmed or rejected by the TVD. The log is under TVD notifications.
File the ascent in Herdy, not in the Agate portal. If you file the departure directly in the portal, Herdy will not recognise it as summering. The animals then count as departed and disappear from herd, breeding and health views for the summer. The TVD does not distinguish summering from a sale, so Herdy cannot guess.
Species specifics
- Sheep: all notifications run through Herdy. The accompanying document for the ascent is created from the season.
- Goats: the arrival notification is switched off in the TVD interface. File the return in the Agate portal and confirm it in Herdy with Reported in the Agate portal. The TVD stopped issuing an accompanying document for goats in December 2025.
- Cattle: all notifications run through Herdy. The accompanying document is created individually from the animal profile.
