Jessica Jeans is a suckler and beef farmer from Cornwall, England. <\/strong>Jessica has a degree in rural business management. <\/strong>In partnership with her husband Will, they run a 300-acre National Trust farm on the Devon\/Cornwall border. On average the South West England farm homes 75 suckler cows and rears roughly 50 Belgian blue calves for beef.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>A few months ago, while reviewing their farm management both Jessica and Will agreed that they were spending too much time filling out paperwork and keeping records to ensure they met regulation. Jessica who was primarily responsible for trawling through endless amounts of paperwork now uses Herdwatch to record all her farm management.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica utilises Herdwatch also for breeding management . Herdwatch allows her to record all breeding information such as heat detection, cows being served, cows running with the bull and performing pregnancy scans.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
