Use the Wrong Pen Animals report to identify animals that were milked in the wrong pen Pen number by parlor, date, and shift. The report details can help you make corrections in PULSE or DC305 DairyComp 305 - VAS Dairy Management Software (for DC Unlimited dairies) to ensure animal data is accurate and up to date.

**NOTE: **ParlorBoss identifies animals that are in the wrong pen if an animal's pen is different from other animals in the parlor. However, if a milking shift is transitioning from one pen to the next, ParlorBoss expects to have animals from both pens in the parlor at the same time. In this case, animals are not flagged as being in the wrong pen.
