Common questions

Do I have to type in my whole herd?

No. You can sync your herd from AgFood (see the first video above), or our support team can upload your herd for you directly from AgFood. Just give us a call.

Does Herdwatch work without signal?

Yes. Turn on Turbo Mode from the side menu and keep recording as normal. Everything is saved on your phone and backs up automatically when you turn Turbo Mode off.

Will my EID reader work with Herdwatch?

Herdwatch connects with EID tag readers, weigh heads and other supported devices. If you're not sure about your model, give us a call and we'll check for you.

What happens at the getting started webinar?

We walk you through setting up the app and the everyday jobs, then answer your questions live. It's online, so you can join from the kitchen table. Can't make it? The replay is on this page.
