Herdwatch Features

Herd Management

Herdwatch software allows producers to maintain individual animal records or update entire groups during routine handling. It lets users record weaning weights, pasture movements, feed purchases, and livestock sales. The feature also works with Bluetooth EID readers and compatible scale heads, helping producers collect animal data faster while keeping records accurate and organized.

Breeding

This functionality lets ranchers monitor reproductive activity by recording heats, breeding dates, repeat cycles, and pregnancy outcomes for each cow. Producers can use this information to review breeding patterns and identify animals that require attention. These records help manage calving periods more effectively and support efforts to reduce the number of open cows across the herd.

Herdi

Herdwatch features an AI tool, Herdi, that works as a ranch assistant, using account information to answer questions about herd activities. Producers can ask about details such as pasture usage or grazing history and receive responses based on their stored records. It allows ranchers to quickly review relevant information when planning grazing decisions or evaluating recent activity on their operation.

Digital Pasture Mapping

The system allows producers to organize pasture layouts and maintain records of paddock activity over time. By keeping grazing history linked to specific areas of land, ranchers can review how pastures have been used across seasons. These records provide a clearer view of pasture performance when planning future grazing arrangements.

Weight And Growth Tracking

This feature lets ranchers record animal weights and monitor changes throughout different growth stages. It allows producers to review performance at the individual-animal or group level to identify emerging trends. The software helps them recognize changes earlier and adjust based on how cattle are progressing over time.

Treatment And Health Recording

The platform allows producers to document animal health activities directly within each cattle record. Ranchers can store treatment details and maintain a history of previous health events without relying on paper notes. Having this information available during future handling makes it easier to review an animal’s background and maintain consistent care practices.
