October 11 2021

We have a new update for beef farmers just out that may be of interest to you.

Check that you are on our latest version 1.45.0 which you can check in the 'i' symbol on the bottom of your Homescreen.

A new Beef section has been added to HerdApp

  • You can now create a Beef Sale Plan
  • This will predict forward weights and margins per day 
  • It displays warnings on drug retention, days on the farm, age at sale and TB dates
  • Try different ‘what if’ sale options for all cattle on your farm at the moment
  • Calculate what should be paid today for an animal to achieve an acceptable margin/day before their planned sale date
  • You can now enter purchase and sale data for animals
  • Review performance of past sales of beef cattle
  • How have sold animals performed financially and carcase wise? 
  • How did the last batch compare with previous batches? 
  • Where is the better place to buy and to sell?
  • What breeds and sexes are leaving a higher margin per day?
  • The Weights reporting screen has also been improved

Other new work in HerdApp

  • TB test data is now used in more places, eg in Beef Sale Plan mentioned above.
  • You can now record the knackery for deaths
  • You can now cull on the date of a scan
  • You can use  Settings to display age in days or in months
