<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"hw-content\">\n      <p>\n        At Racyghill Farm in Cumbria, <strong>James Rebanks<\/strong> is proving that even a 600-year-old farming system can benefit from modern tools. By using a <strong>livestock farm management app<\/strong>, he is improving decision-making, simplifying compliance, and running a more efficient regenerative livestock business.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        For James, farming is more than a business. It is a family inheritance shaped by centuries of hard work, stockmanship, and care for the land.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        The farm supports around <strong>400 Herdwick sheep<\/strong> and <strong>50 Belted Galloway cattle<\/strong>. James manages them with a strong focus on soil health, biodiversity, and long-term resilience.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/herdwatch.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/James-Rebanks-and-daughters.jpg\" alt=\"James Rebanks and daughters on farm in Cumbria\">\n        <div class=\"hw-caption\">James Rebanks with his daughters at Racyghill Farm in Cumbria.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Why a livestock farm management app matters on a modern hill farm<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        James runs a regenerative grazing system in the Lake District. Over time, the farm has moved from <strong>12 fields to more than 60 subdivided paddocks<\/strong> to support longer grass recovery and tighter grazing control.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        He moves cattle twice a day using electric fencing or satellite collars. The system focuses on <strong>profit per acre rather than profit per animal<\/strong>.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        This is also a farm with serious pedigree success. James holds the joint record for the highest-priced <strong>Belted Galloway bull at 20,000 guineas<\/strong>. His Herdwick tup <strong>Darwin sold for 5,500 guineas<\/strong>, which was a breed record at the time.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/herdwatch.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/JameS-Rebanks-Prize-winning-tup.jpg\" alt=\"James Rebanks prize-winning Herdwick tup\">\n        <div class=\"hw-caption\">James Rebanks\u2019 prize-winning Herdwick tup.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>The challenge: good farming still needs great records<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        A regenerative livestock system still depends on practical admin. James needs to record treatments, movements, breeding data, calving information, weights, and inspection paperwork.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Before Herdwatch, the farm handled much of that work the way many farms still do. Records sat on paper, in spreadsheets, or in notebooks until someone needed them.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        \u201cOur medicine book \u2014 we used to make it up when we had an inspection. Just like every other farmer.\u201d\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        Movements stayed on paper and got entered later. Inspection paperwork often got pulled together the day before it was needed. As the grazing system became more advanced, James needed a tool that could keep up.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h2>Using a livestock farm management app to improve decisions<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        James first came across Herdwatch after seeing <strong>Cammy Wilson from The Sheep Game<\/strong> using it. He had already been searching for a better system for several years, so when he saw it working in practice, he signed up.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Since then, Herdwatch has become part of how he runs the farm. He uses it for <strong>remedy treatments and purchases, calf registration, weight recording, breeding, movements, and farm paperwork<\/strong>.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Using a <strong>livestock farm management app<\/strong> allows James to record information in real time. That reduces paperwork and improves accuracy across the farm.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        \u201cI use Herdwatch for record keeping including remedies, calf registration, breeding, pasture records, weight recording.\u201d\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        Instead of relying on memory or paper notes, the <strong>livestock farm management app<\/strong> keeps everything organised and accessible whenever it\u2019s needed.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h2>From sceptic to Herdi advocate<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        One of the biggest changes on the farm has come from <strong>Herdi<\/strong>, Herdwatch\u2019s AI assistant. James moved from being cautious about AI to using it as one of the most powerful tools on the business.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        He now uses Herdi for full farm costings, profitability comparisons, scenario planning, breeding decisions, succession planning, and wider analysis based on his own farm data.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        \u201cIt\u2019s like getting a second brain.\u201d\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        That shift has changed the value of farm records. Instead of storing information only for compliance, James now uses that data to ask better questions and make better decisions.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h2>Better data, better breeding, better business<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Weight recording and treatment data now play a central role in how James selects animals. The farm\u2019s move from loss-making to profitable livestock systems has depended on identifying underperforming animals and making clear breeding and culling decisions.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        \u201cFor that, you need brilliant data and very good at-your-fingertips analysis.\u201d\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        Herdwatch supports that process. James uses it to track calving assistance, treatment history, pedigree information, multi-generation performance, and selection criteria that directly affect profit.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        That same information supports his pedigree sales. When breeding stock values are high, accurate records and clear animal history matter.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/herdwatch.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/James-Rebanks-Belted-Galloway-Prize-Winner.jpg\" alt=\"James Rebanks Belted Galloway prize winner\">\n        <div class=\"hw-caption\">One of James Rebanks\u2019 prize-winning Belted Galloway cattle.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Stress-free compliance and real support<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        Herdwatch has also changed how inspection paperwork gets handled. As long as data goes in in real time, James can generate the necessary reports instantly.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        \u201cThe inspector said, \u2018I bet you haven\u2019t got a herd health management plan.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, I bet I have.\u201d\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        During his time in Red Tractor, being able to print full inspection reports at the click of a button made a major difference.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        James also values the support team. For him, being able to talk to a real person matters just as much as the software itself.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        \u201cThe fact that you could speak to a human \u2014 I love talking to a human.\u201d\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>Protecting a landscape and a legacy<\/h2>\n\n      <p>\n        James\u2019 work is about far more than records. He is restoring a landscape, running a viable business, and preparing the farm for the next generation.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <p>\n        Herdwatch helps him do that. It keeps the farm organised, gives him better data, and frees up time to focus on the land and the livestock.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-quote\">\n        \u201cHerdwatch helps me keep the farm organised so I can focus on the land, the livestock, and the future.\u201d\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        You can read more real farmer stories on our <a href=\"\/case-studies\/\">farm case studies page<\/a>.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"hw-cta\">\n        <h3>A modern tool for a centuries-old farm<\/h3>\n\n        <p class=\"hw-cta-main\">\n          For James Rebanks, Herdwatch and Herdi have become essential tools for running a <strong>compliant, efficient, and regenerative livestock business<\/strong> without losing sight of tradition.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p class=\"hw-cta-quote\">\n          \u201cI absolutely love Herdi.\u201d\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p class=\"hw-cta-join\">\n          You too can join James and thousands of other farmers using Herdwatch to simplify farm management, make better decisions, and stay organised every day.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"hw-cta-buttons\">\n          <a class=\"hw-btn hw-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/herdwatchng.app.link\/MeKoA6VaqKb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n            Download the Free App\n          <\/a>\n\n          <a class=\"hw-btn hw-btn-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.herdwatch.com\/en-ie\/price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n            Request an Instant Quote\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Farm Smart Case Study At Racyghill Farm in Cumbria, James Rebanks is using a livestock farm management app to improve decision-making, simplify compliance, and support a regenerative livestock system.
