Introducing ‘Mobs’: Herdwatch’s Latest Feature for Enhanced Grazing Management
Herdwatch, the leading livestock management software, has unveiled ‘Mobs’ – a new feature designed to revolutionise grazing management and animal inventory tracking for farmers. This addition empowers users to efficiently group animals, monitor their locations, and optimise pasture utilisation, all within the Herdwatch app.
Streamlined Animal Grouping with ‘Mobs’
The ‘Mobs’ feature allows farmers to create specific groups of animals based on criteria such as age, breed or production stage. This functionality simplifies the monitoring and management of different animal cohorts, ensuring that each group receives tailored care and attention. By organising livestock into ‘Mobs’, farmers can enhance record-keeping accuracy and make informed decisions regarding feeding, health treatments and breeding strategies.
Effortless Farm Mapping and Grazing Management
In addition to animal grouping, Herdwatch enables users to map their farm on a FREE Account and manage grazing areas effectively. The app’s intuitive interface allows farmers to outline paddocks, assign ‘Mobs’ to specific grazing zones, and track movements seamlessly. This visual representation aids in planning rotational grazing schedules, optimising pasture usage and maintaining sustainable farming practices.
Moving ‘Mobs’ with Ease
With the innovative drag-and-drop grazing map, farmers can move ‘Mobs’ in seconds—no paperwork, no fuss. Simply open the grazing map, drag the pin for your ‘Mob’ to a new field, drop it, confirm the record, and you’re done. Each move automatically updates your records, ensuring a complete and accurate grazing history without the need for extra admin.
Need to backdate a movement? No problem—just drag and drop as usual, then tap “Edit” instead of “Save”. From there, you can adjust the entry date, add pre-grazing yields, and more. These records appear under ‘Farm and Maps’ in the ‘Pasture’ section, as well as in each ‘Mob’s’ history and the individual animals’ profiles. Whether you’re out in the field or updating later, it’s effortless livestock tracking right from the paddock.
Free Access to Farm Mapping and ‘Mob’ Creation
Herdwatch offers the farm mapping and ‘Mob’ creation features free of charge within the app. This initiative ensures that farmers have access to essential tools for effective livestock and pasture management without any additional financial burden. By providing these features at no cost, Herdwatch reinforces its commitment to supporting the farming community with practical and accessible solutions.
