Thanks

Farmplan Cattle Manager about to become Herdwatch

So it seems that Farmplan Cattle Manager is about to be integrated into Herdwatch software. That explains their reticence at any upgrading of the software. So can any users of Herdwatch tell me if it’s a good programme and easy to use with good reporting. Does it have a mobile app that can...

clearly your more tech savvy than me

Exactly - we are in the same situation...and just wondering if Herdwatch is the way to go, or as we are having to make the change, is there anything better on the market that members can recommend? Need to be able to use it on mobile and PC

I chose farm matters because I like a desk top layout an don’t want to be trying to do movements on a small screen plus Neil’s back up is amazing

Slower off the mark though. You beat me to it

Not seen that one advertised...will have a look. Reporting is important to us too - do they have a good range of reports or can you make your own bespoke ones?

The reporting in Farm Matters is excellent and you can create your own.
I started the original thread mentioned here and was somewhat sceptical at first on Farm Matters.
Having considered in some detail HerdWatch, Sumit and Breedr I firmly came to the conclusion that Farm Matters was not only the best package for my requirements but also the best value for money. Neil has been excellent with back up but once you understand how the programme works it becomes very intuitive.
Every one is different BUT you really should try Farm Matters for yoursself. What’s even better is that if you are already on Farmplan Cattle Manager you can transfer all your existing and historic data into Farm Matters at the push of a button.

We're finishing 500 cattle a year and use FarmMatters. It's not flashy but it works well. Backup is great and Neil is always interested in any ideas you have to improve it.

 

[Breedr]

This is what you'll be needing, works on your phone, tablet or computer, links with lots of different weigh heads, stick readers or panel readers, or type in weights and ear tags.

Depending what you want avoid Sum-it.
They are updating the platform so the new cattle system won't be out untill late 2024.

For us, I found there was better out there.
So much so we have switched away from integrated package to.seperate accounts and enterprises.

We are now using Farm matter @Farm Matters Ltd

We are learning to use it, but are able to do more with our data, it's cheaper than sum-it. Down side is the portal app. But if you get a tough book computer, u can have the full program next to you crush side.

Worth a look at least.
