Trusted by UK farmers
Herdwatch is basically my supernanny, everything I do gets put into Herdwatch and it just processes it all for me and gives me my results at the end of it.
In a recent inspection, the inspector commented on how well the lay out was on the medicine usage report and how it had all the correct and relevant information. Herdwatch provides peace of mind that you have all you need for an inspection at your fingertips.
Red Tractor and milk buyer auditors have all been very impressed at me for having all the required records available at the touch of a button. Farm inspections have become much easier and farm inspection time has significantly decreased because I have access to all the information they could ask for in seconds.
