How Herdwatch works
Map your farm
Use our satellite-based digital tools to map and name every field on your farm with ease. Accurately measure acreage, colour-code paddocks, and clearly visualise your entire farm layout, giving you a better understanding of land use and grazing management at a glance.
Record on the go
Log soil tests, fertiliser applications, grazing movements, and seeding directly in the mobile app — even when you’re offline. Keep accurate, up-to-date field records as work happens on the ground, with everything syncing automatically once you’re back in coverage.
Track and analyse soil and pasture data
Record soil health, NPK levels, and overall soil quality to support more sustainable fertiliser planning. Monitor pasture cover and grass growth rates using plate meters or visual estimates, helping you make informed grazing and nutrient decisions that maximise performance while protecting your land.
What Irish farmers say about Herdwatch
Since we started using the Herdwatch app, it has definitely made the whole operation much more streamlined
It takes the hard work out of drying-off and gets rid of the double recording. I definitely save 30 minutes a day on paperwork, just by being able to record on the spot
Use in apps on the farm has increased and Herdwatch would be the main app; it’s used every day on the farm, several times a day.
Key features designed for farmers
Farm Mapping
Herdwatch makes mapping your farm simple and precise using high-resolution satellite imagery. Easily map and name each field, accurately measure acreage, and colour-code paddocks to suit your system. With a clear visual layout of your entire farm, you can plan grazing, track activity, and manage your land with confidence.
Soil Fertility
Herdwatch makes managing soil fertility simple and data-driven. Import your soil test results and clearly visualise pH, phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) levels across your fields. With easy-to-understand analysis, you can identify deficiencies, target fertiliser more accurately, and make informed decisions that improve soil health, pasture performance, and long-term productivity.
Grass Measurements
Herdwatch makes grass measurement practical and valuable. Track grass covers, seeding events, and overall pasture health to understand how your land is performing throughout the season. By measuring and monitoring grass growth over time, you can see what’s working, improve grazing decisions, and clearly track your return on investment — because you can’t manage what you haven’t measured.
Grazing History
Herdwatch makes tracking grazing history easy and accurate. Record where your animals are grazing at all times and log movements between paddocks in just a few taps. With a clear grazing history for each field, you can manage rotations more effectively, protect pasture health, and provide solid records for planning and farm assurance.
Herdi - your AI farm assistant
Herdi gives farmers 24/7 access to accurate, farm-specific guidance on pasture and grazing management, right inside Herdwatch. From fertiliser rules and nutrient planning to grazing rotations and pasture performance, Herdi provides clear, practical answers in seconds. Just ask a question and get the information you need to make confident decisions, stay compliant, and manage your land more efficiently — saving time and reducing costly mistakes.
Run farm reports in seconds
Herdwatch makes farm assurance reporting for pasture management simple and stress-free. You can quickly generate clear reports showing grazing movements, fertiliser applications, soil test results, and reseeding activity, all pulled directly from your field records. With everything recorded and stored in one place, you’ll have accurate, up-to-date information ready for inspections, helping you demonstrate good pasture management and stay fully compliant with assurance requirements.
