What sheep farmers say about Herdwatch
We know more about the health of individual ewes, which helps us make decisions about problems and treatments and breeding from them in the future.
No more scribbling on muddy, torn paper! With the app, I can update treatment records instantly. It’s incredibly easy to stay on top of recording, ensuring that my records are always compliant and up-to-date.
I would absolutely recommend Herdwatch to other farmers, the key thing being the simplicity of the app, you don’t have to go into some 6 week training program to master it. It almost seems super expensive and well developed because of its simplicity!
Key features designed for farmers
Medicine recording and compliance
Herdwatch lets you record treatments in seconds and automatically tracks withdrawal periods, ensuring every dose is logged accurately. Scan the medicine, select the animal, and your records are instantly audit-ready.
Lambing Records
Creating lambing records in the Herdwatch app is quick and straightforward, making it easy to capture important details while you’re still in the yard or shed. You can record dam, sire, lamb details, birth type, weights, and any notes in just a few taps, ensuring nothing is missed. Each lambing record is instantly linked to the ewe and lamb, building a complete history that supports better performance tracking, breeding decisions, and the creation of informed cull ewe lists based on real data.
Breeding performance dashboard
Managing breeding in the Herdwatch app is simple and efficient, giving you a clear view of your flock’s breeding performance. You can record mating details quickly, whether using rams or AI, and automatically build lambed and due-to-lamb lists from your records. This helps you plan ahead, monitor fertility and lambing outcomes, and make more informed breeding decisions — all with accurate, up-to-date information available anytime, even offline.
Weight Insights
Herdwatch turns weight data into clear, practical insights you can act on. By tracking weights over time, you can see growth rates, spot underperforming lambs early, and make informed decisions on feeding, drafting, and finishing. Weight insights help you improve flock performance, maximise output, and ensure every animal is progressing as it should.
