Trusted by US ranchers
I love how easy it is to enter our individual Cattle IDs, treating multiple calves without having to re-enter every single dosage on Herdwatch, it simplifies all our ranch records.
With Herdwatch, I can take out my phone and make entries right there in the middle of the pasture while I’m checking cows.
The transition to Herdwatch was super easy. All I had to do was send in our records, and they uploaded everything straight into the app for me. When I opened it up, everything I needed was right there at the click of a button.
