Towards the end of a cycle, birds are lifted (caught and taken for sale). GrowthTak CBF handles this in two steps: first a Lifting Intent captures the plan and weighs a sample of birds; then it’s converted into a Bird Sale. Sampling first means the sale’s weight is accurate and trustworthy.

​
Creating a lifting intent

Go to Transactions → Lifting Intents → New.

Creating a lifting intent, with the bird-weight sampling panel.

​
Sampling details

In the Bird Weight Sampling panel, weigh a representative group of birds:
1

Connect a scale (optional)

Tap Bluetooth or Serial (USB) to stream readings from a weighing scale, or enter samples by hand.
2

Add samples

Each sample records a number of birds and their weight. The Activity Log lists what you’ve captured.
3

Apply

GrowthTak CBF computes the average weight per bird for the lift.
Save the intent. It starts with status Open.

​
Converting to a bird sale

From the lifting intents list, an Open intent that has sampling data shows a Convert action.

The Lifting Intents list — Convert turns an open intent into a bird sale.

Selecting Convert opens a new Bird Sale pre-filled from the intent — including the sampled average weight, so the total weight is calculated for you rather than typed.

​
Status & locking

Creating the bird sale closes the intent (and locks it from editing). If you delete that bird sale, the intent re-opens so it can be used again.
Lifting often happens in several catches over a few days. Create one intent per catch so each is weighed and sold accurately.
