Longford, alongside his father\n        and uncle. Together, the three-generation partnership runs a\n        <strong>dairy calf-to-beef system<\/strong>, buying in around\n        400 calves every year and carrying anywhere from 500 to 700 cattle\n        at any one time. In addition, they grow just over 200 acres of grain\n        annually \u2014 all of which, as Philip puts it, &#8220;walks off on the cattle&#8217;s\n        backs when they&#8217;re finished.&#8221;\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Beyond the farm, Philip has built one of Ireland&#8217;s most-watched\n        agricultural YouTube channels. Known as <strong>Farmer Phil<\/strong>,\n        he now attracts between 500,000 and 800,000 views every month from\n        over 120 countries. Consequently, keeping farm records fast and\n        efficient is not just a convenience \u2014 it is essential to fitting\n        everything into the day.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\"\n          src=\"https:\/\/cdn.agriland.ie\/uploads\/2020\/10\/thumbnail_still-6-1024x576.jpg\"\n          alt=\"Farmer Phil Philip Stewart Killashee Co Longford dairy calf to beef Herdwatch\"\n        \/>\n        <div class=\"hw-caption\">Philip Stewart \u2014 Farmer Phil \u2014 on the family farm in Killashee, Co. Longford.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Four generations of farming \u2014 and a contracting business built alongside it<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Philip&#8217;s grandfather moved to Killashee in 1938 at the age of 19,\n        arriving with two horses, a trap, a plough, and a bag of oat seeds.\n        Since then, the family has farmed the land continuously. In 2019,\n        Philip, his father, and his uncle officially formed a partnership \u2014\n        pooling all the cattle, land, and farming assets into one streamlined\n        operation.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Alongside the farming, the Stewarts run an agricultural contracting\n        business. Their services cover baled silage, pit silage, slurry\n        spreading, dribble bars, ploughing, combining, reseeding, and more.\n        As Philip jokes, it is nearly easier to say what they do not do \u2014\n        and that list begins and ends with hedge-cutting.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h2>From farming simulator to 500,000 views a month<\/h2>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-inline\">\n        <div class=\"hw-inline-text\">\n          <p>\n            Philip started his YouTube channel in 2015 while in college, after\n            a conversation about how people were building audiences online.\n            Initially, he posted farming simulator videos \u2014 but they never\n            gained traction. In 2017, he switched to filming real life on\n            the farm. The videos were rough at first. However, views started\n            climbing and Philip kept improving his craft.\n          <\/p>\n          <p>\n            After getting his first GoPro in 2018, the channel took off.\n            Today, he posts every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday \u2014 spending\n            between two and four hours editing each video, usually from\n            11pm until the early hours. It is a significant commitment on top\n            of a full farming day.\n          <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <img decoding=\"async\"\n          src=\"https:\/\/cdn.agriland.ie\/uploads\/2020\/10\/thumbnail_still-7-1024x576.jpg\"\n          alt=\"Farmer Phil filming on farm Co Longford YouTube channel cattle beef\"\n        \/>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;I get anywhere from 500,000 to 800,000 views a month from over 120 countries \u2014 about 50% Irish, 33% UK, and the rest from the US, Netherlands, France, Germany, and so on.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Why Herdwatch matters when you are filming and farming at the same time<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        For Philip, the combination of running a busy farm and filming a YouTube\n        channel means every minute counts. Herdwatch fits naturally into that\n        \u2014 because it is fast enough to use while the camera is rolling.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;While working with cattle in the yard, I can record whatever it is I&#8217;m doing on my phone \u2014 whether it be weighing cattle \u2014 and video what I&#8217;m doing at the same time. Herdwatch has been invaluable in the sense that I can be recording in one hand and have my GoPro in the other. It&#8217;s a one-handed job.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>The notebook that went through the washing machine<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Before Herdwatch, medicine recording was done with pen and paper. At\n        one point, Philip switched to a dedicated notebook \u2014 and it worked\n        well for six months. Then it went through the washing machine.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;Such a job we had \u2014 drying it out, peeling apart the pages nice and gently, then decoding it just so we were able to fill up the paperwork afterward. An absolute nightmare. That was the bane of my life.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        Now, as soon as a medicine is purchased it goes straight onto the app.\n        Furthermore, Philip groups all his cattle into batches \u2014 making\n        treatment recording a matter of selecting the medicine, selecting the\n        batch, and confirming. The whole job takes seconds.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;All the cattle are in batches \u2014 it&#8217;s one of the best things about the app. Select medicine, select batch, done. In a day&#8217;s work.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Weight recording \u2014 from a notebook full of numbers to instant daily gains<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Weight recording used to mean a notebook, a pen, and a lot of manual\n        calculation. Philip would write down the tag number, record the weight\n        beside it, then later retrieve the notebook to find the previous weight,\n        calculate the average daily gain, and write it beside that. It was slow,\n        repetitive, and easy to get wrong.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;With Herdwatch, you just pop it in and it tells you straight away what your average daily weight gain is from the last time you weighed. It just simplifies the whole job.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Records on farm, reports in the house \u2014 and no more inspection panic<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Philip does all the recording on the farm in real time. His mother,\n        meanwhile, handles the paperwork side from the office. Previously,\n        inspection preparation meant evenings sitting around the kitchen table\n        decoding scraps of cardboard and trying to piece records together.\n        Now that process has been eliminated entirely.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;Before Herdwatch, my mother would have had to sit down and start decoding bits of cardboard and everything \u2014 that was a nightmare. Now everything is done on the day. She literally just prints it off on the computer, and that&#8217;s it done and dusted. No more arguments about why this isn&#8217;t done right or why that can&#8217;t be read.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        Missing tags are handled just as simply. Rather than texting his mother\n        with a list to stockpile and order later, Philip simply pulls up the\n        calf on the app and orders the tag directly. In addition, the sign-up\n        process was straightforward from the start.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;The Herdwatch app is nearly too easy \u2014 I could let a five-year-old child use it. Dead handy.
