Galway, running a\n        <strong>store-to-beef enterprise<\/strong> across 75 acres \u2014 44 owned\n        and 21 hectares rented from his grandmother next door. He buys cattle\n        at six or seven months and sells them to the factory approximately\n        18 months later. His father Gerard transferred the farm to him in 2015.\n        However, as Eoin is quick to point out, Gerard is still very much\n        involved in the day-to-day decisions.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;In the end, nine times out of ten, my father made the final decision. When he transferred the place over to me, I&#8217;d like to say it has changed \u2014 but it kind of hasn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s like negotiating with small children. You learn to live with it, move on, and get over it.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>A new shed \u2014 built with health and safety in mind<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        One of the first things Eoin did after taking over was invest in a new\n        four-bay slatted unit. The main driver was health and safety. As the\n        years went by, he became increasingly conscious of the risks involved\n        in his father going in with cattle \u2014 feeding, throwing in straw, and\n        working in close quarters. The new shed has eliminated those risks\n        almost entirely. Furthermore, it has made the partnership between Eoin\n        and his father considerably more straightforward.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;I was always concerned, as the years were going by, that he&#8217;d be going in with cattle \u2014 throwing in straw, that sort of thing. There was always that health and safety risk. Now with the shed being put up, that&#8217;s been totally eliminated.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Finding Herdwatch \u2014 through a Facebook scroll<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Eoin found out about Herdwatch in an unlikely way. About six or seven\n        months before the interview, his girlfriend Karen was scrolling through\n        Facebook and came across the app. She suggested it might make his life\n        easier with paperwork and Bord Bia. He gave it a go on a 30-day free\n        trial. Since then, it has become a vital part of running the farm.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;I started using it, got the 30-day free trial \u2014 that was maybe six or seven months ago \u2014 and it&#8217;s been kind of vital ever since.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        Eoin is open about the fact that he does not consider himself\n        particularly tech-savvy. Nevertheless, Herdwatch&#8217;s design made it\n        accessible from the start.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m as tech savvy as the average 28-year-old. But the way Herdwatch is designed, it&#8217;s very user-friendly. It&#8217;s very easy. I&#8217;ve never met people with better tech support either \u2014 if there&#8217;s a problem, you ring them, they&#8217;re very friendly and affable, and they help you through it.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>TB testing \u2014 knowing which cattle are out of date before going to sell<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        One of the most practical benefits Eoin describes is using Herdwatch\n        to check TB test dates before moving cattle for sale. When cattle of\n        similar ages arrive at different times, it can be hard to keep track\n        of which ones are current. Previously, he would have had to go through\n        cards and paperwork. Now, he simply checks his phone.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;For TB testing, I can just look at my phone and straight away I can see which cattle are out of date \u2014 so I know I have to get a TB test on those before I can sell them. That&#8217;s basically the easiest, most effective way of doing it.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Recording feed, medicines, and SBLAS compliance \u2014 all on the phone<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Beyond TB testing, Eoin uses Herdwatch to record feed purchases,\n        medicine purchases, and treatments. As soon as cattle come in, details\n        are typed into the phone and he does not have to worry about them again.\n        In particular, the app has proven valuable for\n        <strong>Bord Bia&#8217;s Sustainable Beef and Lamb Assurance Scheme (SBLAS)<\/strong>\n        compliance \u2014 where accurate, consistent records are essential.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        &#8220;When I buy feed, when I buy medicines, when I inject cattle \u2014 it&#8217;s a simple process. As easy as when they come in, I just type it into the phone and it&#8217;s all recorded there. I don&#8217;t have to worry about it again.&#8221;\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>Eoin uses Herdwatch for the following on the farm:<\/p>\n\n      <ul class=\"hw-feature-list\">\n        <li>TB test date tracking \u2014 check which cattle are out of date before selling<\/li>\n        <li>Feed purchase recording \u2014 logged at the point of purchase<\/li>\n        <li>Medicine purchases and treatments \u2014 recorded on the spot<\/li>\n        <li>SBLAS compliance records \u2014 all data in one place for inspections<\/li>\n        <li>Animal movements \u2014 movement certs managed from the phone<\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n\n      <h2>Watch Eoin&#8217;s story<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Eoin walks through how Herdwatch fits into running his store-to-beef\n        enterprise \u2014 from the Facebook discovery to TB testing and SBLAS\n        compliance.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-video\">\n        <div class=\"hw-video-wrap\">\n          <iframe\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HMKYmvqTgnc\"\n            title=\"Eoin Burns Corofin Co Galway beef farmer Herdwatch case study\"\n            allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"\n            allowfullscreen>\n          <\/iframe>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        You can read more real farmer stories on our\n        <a href=\"\/case-studies\/\">farm case studies page<\/a>.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <!-- CTA -->\n      <div class=\"hw-cta\">\n        <h3>Vital from the first month \u2014 and getting better from there<\/h3>\n\n        <p class=\"hw-cta-main\">\n          For Eoin, Herdwatch went from a 30-day free trial to an essential\n          part of running his farm \u2014 making <strong>TB compliance, SBLAS\n          records, and medicine tracking<\/strong> all faster and simpler,\n          even for someone who does not consider himself tech-savvy.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p class=\"hw-cta-quote\">\n          &#8220;I started on the 30-day free trial \u2014 that was six or seven months ago \u2014 and it&#8217;s been vital ever since.&#8221;\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p class=\"hw-cta-join\">\n          Join Eoin and over 22,000 farmers using Herdwatch to simplify\n          farm records, stay compliant, and make every job on farm faster\n          and easier.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"hw-cta-buttons\">\n          <a class=\"hw-btn hw-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/herdwatchng.app.link\/MeKoA6VaqKb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n            Download the Free App\n          <\/a>\n          <a class=\"hw-btn hw-btn-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.herdwatch.com\/en-ie\/price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n            Request an Instant Quote\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eoin Burns runs a beef finishing.
