What Irish farmers say about Herdwatch
It just makes life easier, once you start using it, you won’t go back.
Passing my Bord Bia inspections have most definitely been the biggest benefit of Herdwatch, no more writing, just hand the phone to the inspector when he arrives, it’s all there, remedy purchases, feed purchases, movements in and out, calf registrations, it’s absolutely brilliant.
