<font color="#67854E">**Question**</font>: How do I create a FRESH event for PCC?

<font color="#67854E">**Answer**</font>: You can create a FRESH event for your animals directly in PCC. Follow the steps below to continue:

:::hint{type="info"}
**NOTE:&#x20;**&#x50;CC does not currently support event entry for triplets. If you have triplets, enter them directly into DairyComp.
:::

1. In PCC, open an animal's CowCard and go to the **Events** tab.
2. Tap **New Event** at the bottom of the screen, then tap **FRESH**.
3. Enter FRESH event information, then tap **Continue** at the bottom right corner of the screen.
4. You can enter information manually, by scanning a bar code, or by using an RFID device to scan information into an Item Type #31 RFID Item field. If you use an RFID device and scan multiple RFID items, PCC asks if you want to enter the last scanned value or if you want to perform a new scan.

Enter calf details, then tap **Continue** at the bottom right corner of the screen.

5. Review the FRESH event details summary, then tap **Store** at bottom right corner of the screen to save the FRESH event.

## FRESH Event Guidelines

Follow the guidelines below when you create a new FRESH event:

- Currently, you cannot include FRESH event content in PCC command abbreviations.
- By default, you cannot note that a new FRESH event yielded a SOLD ALIVE calf. To remove this setting, open **Administration** > **Settings** and uncheck the box next to **Prevent selection of Sold Alive Calves**.
- PCC does not automatically populate the identification number for calves for the FRESH event. You must manually enter a number or use a bar code reader if your bar code corresponds to the management ID.
- PCC displays the same warning messages used by DairyComp when you create FRESH events.
- You can use a PREV event to change the SIRC of the calf.
