The Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP)<\/strong> deadline is coming fast and for thousands of farmers across Ireland, the pressure is on to get weights recorded and submitted before November 1, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this year, something\u2019s different. Farmers aren\u2019t scrambling for paperwork or worrying about submissions \u2014 they\u2019re turning to Herdi<\/strong>, the award-winning AI farm assistant<\/strong> built into the Herdwatch app<\/strong>, to get the job done quickly and correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No More Stress \u2014 Record in Herdwatch and Done<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All eligible animals must be weighed with their dams<\/strong>, with at least 80% of eligible animals<\/strong> included. Calves must be at least 50 days old<\/strong>, ideally five to eight months<\/strong> at weighing, and all results must reach the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF)<\/strong> by 5:30 p.m. on November 1<\/strong> \u2014 whether sent electronically or by post<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds like a headache? Not anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Herdwatch, farmers can now record all their SCEP weights directly in the app<\/strong>, and they\u2019ll be automatically sent to ICBF<\/strong> \u2014 no forms, no double entry, and no risk of missing the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
