Everything you were about to ask.

Any of them. Cattle, pigs, poultry and goats are already listed, and you can add any other species in settings — sheep, bison, horses, rabbits, alpacas. Before adding animals, give each species its gestation period, breeding age, breeds and growth stages in settings, so due dates and checks are right. They all sit in the same account at no extra charge.

No — that's the point. Most livestock tools specialise in one species and leave you juggling spreadsheets for the rest. Herd Farm Central was built for mixed operations: one login, one dashboard and one set of reports across everything you raise. Pigs get dam performance and PSY, poultry get batch handling, and nothing is forced into a cattle-shaped form.

Poultry runs on batches rather than individual birds — placements, count events, mortality records and barn-wide treatments. Nobody asks you to tag six hundred chickens.

Yes, with the Animal Produce module from the Marketplace. Record each collection against the animal or batch it came from and it's checked against the expected yield. Collections become stock lots, used first-expiring-first, and can be processed into products like cheese. Each sale traces back to the lot and the animal, with the margin per product.

When you log a treatment, the withdrawal period is calculated for you from the product — separately for meat, milk and eggs — and counted from the final dose, so nobody has to type it in. The animal or flock goes on a compliance hold, and while it's active it can't be sold, culled, slaughtered or harvested. In Canada, treated animals must not enter the food chain before their withdrawal period has passed — and you need the records to prove it.

Yes. Health reports for any date range export to PDF, Excel or CSV, and every treatment stays on the animal's own record with its date, product and withdrawal period.

Yes. Add your vet in staff management and they get their own restricted login to review treatment history, log treatments with withdrawal periods, write and approve treatment protocols, and approve releases from quarantine. Professional includes two vet logins; more are available as an add-on on Basic and Professional, and by contract on Enterprise.

Yes. It records 15-digit ISO electronic ID tags, including Canadian CCIA and USDA 840 numbers, and catches a duplicate the moment it's typed or scanned. Movement manifests carry origin and destination premises IDs.

Dam performance is one dam's full reproductive history — every parity, how many born and how many weaned. PSY means pigs per sow per year, the number that tells you whether a sow is earning her feed. We calculate it per dam rather than per barn, so one underperformer can't hide inside a good barn average.

No. Log a service and the expected calving, lambing, kidding or farrowing date is calculated from that species' gestation period, then shown in your upcoming births. Once the pregnancy is confirmed, you get a reminder before the birth.

It checks every mating against the pedigree: parent–offspring and full-sibling pairings are blocked, cousin pairings are flagged, and each pedigree shows an estimated inbreeding coefficient.

Three specific things, all from your own records: a weekly farm summary of what happened across livestock, health, feed and production, ending in recommended actions; growth insights that explain each batch's weight trend and flag animals falling behind; and feed insights showing feed conversion and cost per kg gained, with gaps in your feed records pointed out.

Time-based reminders — overdue weigh-ins, low feed, due vaccinations, expected farrowings — come from the alerts engine instead, because a rule you can audit beats a guess.

Only aggregated counts, totals and data-quality checks for the farms the user is allowed to see — never names, ear tags, contact details, bank details or free-text notes, and never another farm's data. Calculations like feed conversion and withdrawal dates are done by Herd Farm Central itself. The AI can't approve sales, clear withdrawal periods, prescribe, or change payroll or financial records. You can switch it off at any time.

Yes, and it goes well beyond logins. The workforce module covers employees and departments, attendance, leave policies with balances and approvals, rotas built from shift templates, and payroll runs with per-employee line items. Each person gets role-based permissions, the audit log records who changed what, and pay data is limited to the owner, administrators and payroll and HR staff.

They're included on Professional and Enterprise, and available as add-ons for Basic — so you can have them without jumping a whole tier.

Add it from the Marketplace. AI Insights, workforce, vet portal seats, extra capacity and multi-site can attach to the plan you're on. If an upgrade works out cheaper, we'll say so.

Nothing breaks and nothing is deleted. You're warned at 80%, 90% and 100%; over the limit you have 14 days to add capacity or move up a plan, whichever costs you less. Health, death and sale records always keep working.

Yes — it's the Farm Website Sync service in our Marketplace, a custom project quoted for your farm. We design and build your public site around what you sell. A live connection to your Herd Farm Central records, so the pedigree catalog and sales list update themselves, is coming soon. See how it works.

No. Instead we give you a live walkthrough set up with your species and record types, so you can judge it against your real operation before you pay. Book one here, or click around the live demo right now.

Yes. Upload a CSV or Excel export from spreadsheets or most herd tools and we'll map the columns with you. Paper works too: photograph handwritten notes or upload PDFs — up to 20 files at once — and AI reads the tags, breeds, weights and parents into animal records for you to review before anything is saved. If it's messier than that, the Data Migration service does the whole import for you.

No — once you have signed in with a connection on that phone or computer. The app is offline-first. Record weights, treatments and births with no signal at all, and everything syncs automatically once you're back in range.

Yes. You can install it on any phone from your browser today, and it works offline. Native iOS and Android apps are coming to the app stores soon.

Yes, on every plan. Pair your readers in device settings, then scan a tag to open that animal's profile — it's wired into adding animals and the animal profile.

You do, always. We never sell your records. You can export animal records, movement manifests and reports to CSV, Excel or PDF whenever you like, and the account owner can download a full copy of the company's data.

Two-factor sign-in and passkeys are available to everyone, and required for owners, admins and other sensitive roles. Data is encrypted in transit. Each farm business's data is walled off from every other at the database level, sensitive fields are encrypted, and every change goes into a tamper-evident audit log of who made it, when and from which device.

Yes. Built-in guides, and a support desk inside the app where a person on our team answers your ticket.
