FARM Version 5 Observation Metrics
The FARM Animal Care Version 5 Animal Observation Illustrated Scoring Guide provides guidance to Evaluators when scoring animals during a Version 5 on-farm evaluation. Evaluators are encouraged to reference this guide for questions surrounding hygiene, locomotion and body scoring for pre-weaned calves, heifers, and dry and lactating cows. Watch our Locomotion playlist for visual demonstrations of these scores.
