Everything your farm records, in one place.
Not a livestock database with reports bolted on. Herd Farm Central is the working record of your farm — the animals, the people looking after them, and the business around them.

A full workforce system, not a task list.
Most livestock software doesn't touch the people. If you employ a crew, you're almost certainly running a second product — or a spreadsheet — for their hours, leave and pay. You don't need to.
- Payroll — pay periods, payroll runs and per-employee line items
- Attendance — clock-ins and hours against each employee
- Leave — policies, running balances and request approvals
- Rotas — schedules built once from reusable shift templates
- Tasks — hourly, daily, weekly or one-off jobs for treatments, weigh-ins and pen moves
- Roles — dedicated permissions for vets, HR, payroll, finance, auditors and security, with pay data restricted to the owner, administrators and payroll and HR staff

Today's tasks Morning shift
See what each batch actually earned.
Sales, feed, vet bills and running costs land in one ledger, so profit isn't a guess you make at tax time.
- Buyer records with full purchase history
- Wholesale and direct sales logged against the animal, with price, weight and date
- Supplier records and purchase orders with line items, tied to the stock they replenish
- Profit and loss per batch, plus accounts receivable and payable
- Financial reports exported for your accountant
Batch B-114 · profit & loss Closed
The parts of a farm nobody else builds for.
Buying feed, isolating a sick pen, accounting for losses, and knowing the gate really was checked at 2 a.m.
Security operations
Security posts, patrol routes with QR checkpoints scanned by phone, visitor logs, and incident reports with severity. Overnight cover becomes a record you can review.
Procurement
Suppliers and purchase orders connected to the feed and farm supplies they replenish and the costs they create.
Quarantine
Its own workflow: animals go to isolation pens (anywhere else needs a written reason), a checklist has to be worked through, and release is approved by a different person.
Mortality & culling
Losses logged against a defined cause list, so they're analysed over time instead of quietly leaving the headcount.
Batch management
Poultry and grow-out groups run as batches with placements and count events — no tagging six hundred birds.
Time-based access
Lock machinery and sensitive actions outside staffed hours, per farm, with owner-approved exceptions and a log of denied attempts.
Add-onAI that reads the records you already keep.
A few specific jobs, done well, from your own data. We'd rather describe them exactly than promise a vague intelligence layer.
- Weekly farm summary — what happened across livestock, health, feed and production, closing with recommended actions for the week ahead
- Growth insights — each batch's weight trend explained, with animals falling behind flagged
- Feed insights — feed conversion and cost per kg gained, pen by pen, with gaps in your feed records pointed out
Figures like feed conversion and withdrawal dates are calculated by Herd Farm Central, not the AI. The AI only sees aggregated counts and totals — never names, ear tags or contact details — and it never approves sales, clears withdrawals or changes records. Owners and admins can use it in this release.

Farrowings up on last week and feed conversion steady. Two health events in the grower barn are worth a look. Three recommended actions for the week ahead.
Gaining 6.2 kg a week on its recorded trend — on track. Two animals in the batch are falling behind.
Grower pens converting at 2.6 kg feed per kg gained. Pen NM-4 has no feedings logged for 3 days — worth checking.
Fifteen things the system watches so you don't have to.
Rules that run against your records and raise themselves at info, warning or critical level — in the app, by email and by push notification, with text messages through the SMS Farm Alerts add-on. A rule you can audit beats a guess.
- Weight recording overdue
- Feed running low
- Medication stock low
- Medication expiring
- Vaccination due
- Vaccination overdue
- Farrowing expected
- Heat expected
- Recurring health issue
- Critical health event
- Batch survival below target
- Pen climate out of range
- Task running late
- Visitor overdue to sign out
- Security incident reported
The groundwork underneath all of it.
The parts you stop noticing after week one, because they simply work.
Security built in
Two-factor sign-in and passkeys — required for owners, admins and other sensitive roles — each farm business's data walled off at the database level, and sensitive fields encrypted.
Tamper-evident audit log
Every change records who made it, when and from which device. Edits are traceable, never silent.
Role-based access
Everyone gets their own login and sees only what their role allows — farm hands, vets, HR, finance, auditors and security.
Offline-first
Record in a dead-zone barn or the far corner of the property. It syncs automatically once you're back in range.
Import & AI scanning
Import spreadsheets, or photograph paper books and PDFs — up to 20 files at once. You review every row before it's saved.
Reports & exports
Farm, health, growth, feed, payroll and financial reports to PDF, Excel or CSV — plus a weekly farm report generated for you.
One login. The whole farm.
