At any one time, there are between\n        <strong>280 and 300 head on the farm<\/strong>. In 2018, they finished\n        260 head.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Derek works full time managing an agricultural co-op, where his\n        day-to-day role covers nutrition, soil fertility, and fertiliser.\n        As a result, he is on the farm at evenings and weekends. Jennifer,\n        meanwhile, runs the farm full time, five days a week.

From\n        there, the goal is to finish cattle at 24\u201326 months with a carcass\n        weight of 340\u2013350kg \u2014 exactly what the factory is looking for.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Attention to detail runs through every part of the system. On arrival,\n        cattle are housed in well-ventilated units and given time to settle.\n        Subsequently, all cattle are weighed coming off grass, at housing,\n        before they are pushed on, and at regular intervals during the finishing\n        period. Furthermore, rations are formulated by Derek himself at Clonleigh\n        Co-op. Consequently, any issues with average daily gain are caught early\n        and dealt with before they affect the final result.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;That&#8217;s what the factory wants \u2014 that&#8217;s what they tell us they&#8217;re looking for. So that&#8217;s what our goals are.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Trying another app first \u2014 and finding the one that actually worked<\/h2>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-inline\">\n        <div class=\"hw-inline-text\">\n          <p>\n            Before Herdwatch, Derek and Jennifer had already tried a different\n            farm app. It did not suit their system. They needed something\n            specifically designed around finishing cattle \u2014 weighing, dosing,\n            withdrawal periods, and performance tracking from day of purchase\n            to factory. In addition, they were one of the original trial farms\n            for Herdwatch in Northern Ireland.\n          <\/p>\n          <p>\n            Once they found Herdwatch, it fitted their operation from the start.\n            Everything they needed was there \u2014 and the customer care team worked\n            with them to develop additional features that suited their specific\n            system.\n          <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <img decoding=\"async\"\n          src=\"https:\/\/cdn.agriland.ie\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Niall-40-1024x576.jpg\"\n          alt=\"Glenn family beef finishing cattle Dungiven Derry weighing performance Herdwatch\"\n        \/>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;We were fed up writing in books and on bits of paper. An app specifically for finishing cattle \u2014 weighing, dosing, and withdrawal periods \u2014 was what we needed. Eventually we found Herdwatch and it just suited our needs.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Day one to factory \u2014 every animal tracked in full<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        On the day weanlings arrive from the mart, Jennifer enters the purchase\n        price and weight into Herdwatch straight away. From that moment, every\n        animal&#8217;s performance can be tracked individually from arrival to\n        slaughter. Six weeks later, when cattle are weighed again, the app\n        calculates average daily gain automatically. As a result, underperformers\n        are identified early and the system stays on track for factory targets.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Feed deliveries are also entered into the app as soon as the driver\n        drops off the docket \u2014 batch numbers and all. Consequently, feed records\n        are always accurate and complete without any additional effort.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;On day one, coming home from the mart, Jennifer sits beside me and puts in the price and the weights of the cattle we&#8217;ve bought. Then, six weeks later, we bring the cattle back in, weigh them again, and Herdwatch shows us what the daily live weight gain has been in those six weeks.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Medicine recording \u2014 done on the way home from the vet<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Before Herdwatch, the medicine book was always something to be filled\n        in later \u2014 usually in the evening after treating cattle, when the detail\n        was already fading. Now, however, medicines are scanned on the way home\n        from the vet and the record is done. The app then deducts the volume\n        used from the bottle and tracks what remains.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;On our way home from the vets, we scan the medicine and it goes straight into our medicine cabinet on the Herdwatch app. If we&#8217;re injecting an animal with 20ml out of a 100ml bottle, Herdwatch deducts the amount and shows 80ml left in the bottle.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        Furthermore, the withdrawal period is recorded automatically and assigned\n        to the specific animal. This is particularly important when cattle are\n        being prepared for the factory \u2014 Herdwatch flags any animal still within\n        a withdrawal period so nothing is sent before it is clear.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h2>The Watchboard \u2014 a morning notification that keeps finishing on track<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        One of Derek and Jennifer&#8217;s favourite features is the daily Watchboard\n        notification. Every morning, Herdwatch sends them a message listing\n        which cattle are coming close to slaughter weight. Notifications begin\n        at 28 months \u2014 giving them time to pick out the cattle and book them\n        in before they go overweight and get penalised at the factory.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;Every morning, Herdwatch sends us a notification on the Watchboard of the cattle coming close to finishing. It starts notifying us at 28 months \u2014 giving us time to get the cattle away on time.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>A paperless Quality Assurance inspection \u2014 and an impressed inspector<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        For their most recent Quality Assurance inspection, Derek and Jennifer\n        used no paper at all. Instead, they handed the inspector a tablet with\n        all the records already loaded in Herdwatch. The inspector was visibly\n        impressed \u2014 it was the first time he had seen the system working on\n        a farm. Moreover, the whole process took a fraction of the time a\n        paper-based inspection would have required.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;The inspector came round, inspected all the cattle, and then asked us for our medical records. Instead of us looking for a pile of paper and books, we just handed him the tablet.
