Agriculture · Software for cattle farms

Keep each animal’s calving, treatment, weight and milk on one record.

A cattle herd is a list of individual animals, each with a dam, a breeding history, a health file and a place in a feeding group. The cattle farm software holds that file per ear tag. Milk, treatments and withdrawal dates sit beside it, so a cow is never sold or milked against the wrong note.

At a glance

A herd is managed as groups but earns as individuals. One cow fails to hold at service, another carries a treatment that bars her milk for days, a heifer misses the weight she should reach by breeding age. Each of these sits on a tag number and a date.

Records for dairy and beef cattle farms start with the animal register, because breeding, health, feed and sales all point back to it. Start with a single cow and trace her calving, next service and dry-off date on one card.

How the work runs today

Calves are tagged within days of birth, with dam, sire, birth weight and sex noted. Milking cows are recorded at each milking, and the herdsman marks cows in heat for the inseminator. A pregnancy check follows weeks later, and a dry-off date is set for cows nearing calving. Heifers and bulls are weighed on a schedule, then moved between feeding groups as they grow and as the herd manager changes the rations for each pen.

The farm buys concentrate, silage inputs, mineral mix and medicines, and issues them by group. The vet comes. Lameness, mastitis, vaccination. Milk goes to a chilling tank and then to a dairy or collection centre against a quantity and fat reading. Surplus bull calves, cull cows and finished animals leave on a sale note, a transport document and a movement record that the buyer or the local market will ask to see.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for cattle farms without a proper system.

Milk withdrawal is tracked on a parlour slate

A cow gets treated for mastitis on Monday. Her milk cannot enter the tank until the clearing date has passed. That date is on a slate in the parlour. A new milker misses it, and the tank is contaminated.

Heat and service dates are guessed

The herdsman remembers which cows were seen bulling, but the inseminator wants the date, the sire straw used and the result of the check. Returns to service go unnoticed for another cycle.

Milk is totalled, not traced

The tank figure arrives from the collector, yet nobody can say which cow dropped her yield over the fortnight. Mastitis and poor rations show up late.

Feed is bought against a headcount that changed

Rations are set per group, and groups shift as calves wean and heifers join the herd. Concentrate orders follow last month’s number.

Pedigree and sale papers are rebuilt on demand

A buyer asks for dam, sire, vaccination history and weights of the heifer on offer. Someone searches three registers to answer.

What the software does

What we would build for cattle farms.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Animal register by tag

Hold each animal with its ear tag or RFID number, breed, dam, sire, birth date, group and status. Every pen change, sale and death goes onto that animal’s tag record, so its history never splits.

Heat, service and calving log

Record each heat seen, the insemination or bull service, the sire straw used, the pregnancy check result and the calving, so open cows and expected due dates appear as lists.

Treatments and withdrawal clock

Note each diagnosis, drug, dose and vet against the animal. A milk and meat withdrawal date is calculated, and the cow is flagged at the parlour until it clears.

Milk yield by cow and tank

Enter yield per cow per milking, or batch totals where cows are not metered. Tank quantity and quality readings from the collector are compared with the sum of what the herd gave.

Ration groups and feed stock

Define a ration for each group, such as lactating, dry, growing heifers or finishers. Issue concentrate, silage and minerals by group, and see stock left against the head count.

Weights and growth

Record weighbridge or tape readings at set ages. Growth of each calf or finisher is plotted against the target for its breed, so slow animals are seen early.

Sales, culls and movement papers

Raise the sale note for each animal, attach its health and weight history, and record transport details. The register status changes when the animal leaves the farm.

Common questions

Questions cattle farms ask before they call.

Is it suitable for a dairy herd, a beef herd, or a mix?

Yes. A dairy herd leans on milk, service and dry-off records. A beef herd leans on weights, groups and sales. The same animal register sits under both.

We have no electronic tags. Is that a problem?

No. Animals can be identified by a visual ear tag number. Where RFID readers are in use, their tag numbers are matched to the register during set-up.

Can the parlour staff see a withdrawal warning?

Yes. A treated cow shows as held back on the milking sheet, with the clearing date beside her tag. The warning goes away only when the date has passed.

What happens to the herd registers we keep today?

Animal lists, breeding dates and open treatments come from your registers or spreadsheets. The herd manager checks the loaded animals against the pens before any milking is entered.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
