In 2012, he won an Excellence Award at the National Dairy Council quality milk awards, and in 2014, Noel signed up to the Herdwatch farming app which has greatly reduced his paperwork and given him more free time. Almost 2 years on, we catch up with Noel to see how exactly it has helped him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hours saved on calf registrations &amp; Bord Bia compliance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Noel\u2019s day starts early with a 5.30am milking, he then goes driving for the day and returns to do the evening milking. After all that, the paperwork still needs to be done! Now with Herdwatch, life is much easier, and he no longer has to worry about record keeping late at night: \u201c<em>I can register my calves as I tag them, on the spot, and record remedies on the go. Before Herdwatch, I was spending hours in the evening recording remedies or calf registrations. Now, that\u2019s all gone and I\u2019m always compliant.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Simple things like knowing what cows are still in withdrawal is critical these days. Noel said: <em>\u201cIt\u2019s easy when all your records are in your pocket. I can then quickly check what cows are still in withdrawal, it\u2019s only a matter of looking at my phone<\/em>\u201d. He added: <em>\u201cThere can be no grey areas when you\u2019re producing food, particularly when you\u2019re in the Bord Bia schemes\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Breeding Records are a must<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Noel also uses Herdwatch to record his scanning results, \u201c<em>you can record the scan results as he is scanning the cows, I can tell to the day when my cows are due to calve, even with no internet access.<\/em>\u201d Herdwatch also sends breeding records to the ICBF, which eliminates having to re-enter all that data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Knowing your Heifers\u2019 growth rate is essential<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Noel weighs his growing Heifers at least 4 times a year and records this through Herdwatch. He said<em> \u201cIt\u2019s great because it will give you the Average Daily Gains of your cattle from the previous weighing\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Noel is part of a community of thousands of farmers using Herdwatch, and at only \u20ac2.50 a week, the app is great value for money and can be used on multiple smartphones, tablets and computers at no extra cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaving late night paperwork
