New Offline barn app — iOS and Android apps coming soon

Run the whole farm from one place.

Herd Farm Central keeps your animals, your people and your paperwork in one system — breeding, health and withdrawal compliance, weights, pens, feed, sales, staff and payroll. No more notebooks, whiteboards and five different apps.

From a real farrowing pen

Every litter starts here. So does the record.

A sow and her piglets on a working family farm. Behind a scene like this sits a service date, a due date, a litter count, weaning weights and every treatment, and Herd Farm Central keeps all of it on her record.

  • Farrowing date worked out the moment the service is logged
  • Litter size, losses and weaning on the sow's own record
  • Treatments and withdrawal holds for the sow or the whole litter

Why farms switch

Your farm runs on a dozen places. It should run on one.

Calving books, vet receipts, a feed spreadsheet, a payroll app and a whiteboard in the shop — every one of them is a place where something gets missed.

Before

  • Due dates counted on a wall calendar
  • Withdrawal periods held in someone's head
  • Weigh-ins skipped until the week before sale
  • Feed runs out on a Sunday
  • Hours, leave and pay in a separate app
  • An inspector asks, and you go digging

With Herd Farm Central

  • Expected births calculated the moment a service is logged
  • Treated animals put on hold automatically — sales are blocked
  • Overdue weigh-ins raise an alert on their own
  • Reorder alerts before feed and medication run low
  • Staff, rotas, leave and payroll in the same system
  • Records export to PDF, Excel or CSV in seconds
One platform, three jobs

Animals. People. Paperwork.

Most livestock software stops at the animals. We kept going, because the farm doesn't stop there.

Livestock

The working record of every animal, from birth tag to sale.

  • Four-generation pedigrees and inbreeding checks
  • Breeding, dam performance and PSY per sow
  • Treatments, vaccinations and withdrawal holds
  • Weights, average daily gain and pen moves
Explore livestock

Workforce

Everything about the people doing the work.

  • Employees, departments and roles
  • Shift templates, rotas and a task board
  • Attendance, leave balances and approvals
  • Payroll runs with per-employee line items
Explore workforce

Business

What comes in, what goes out, and what it earned.

  • Feed and medication inventory
  • Suppliers and purchase orders
  • Buyers, sales and accounts receivable
  • A farm ledger with profit per batch

A closer look

Built around the jobs you actually do.

Know which dams are earning their feed.

Log a service and the expected birth date is worked out from that species' gestation period. Dam performance keeps each dam's whole reproductive history, and PSY is calculated per sow — so an underperformer can't hide inside a good barn average.

  • Expected calving, lambing, kidding and farrowing dates
  • Heat events, semen inventory and genetic values
  • Unsafe pairings blocked before the service is saved
Compliance, handled

Ready when the inspector, the packer or the vet asks.

Food safety and traceability are built into how records are kept — not bolted on at audit time.

  • Automatic drug withdrawal holds that block sale, slaughter and harvest
  • 15-digit ISO tags, including CCIA and USDA 840 numbers, with duplicates caught as they're scanned
  • Movement manifests with origin and destination premises IDs
  • A tamper-evident audit log of every change — who, when and from which device

Made for the barn, not just the office

Works where your signal doesn't.

Cell coverage stops at the barn door. Herd Farm Central doesn't.

  • Offline-first

    Record injections, weights and births chute-side with no signal. Everything syncs when you're back in range.

  • RFID on every plan

    Pair a reader, scan a tag and the animal's full profile opens. Included, not an upsell.

  • Bring your paper records with you

    Photograph handwritten books or upload PDFs and spreadsheets. AI reads them into animal records, and you check every row before it's saved.

Install it from your browser on any phone today. Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon.

Our story

It started on my dad's farm.

"I watched him lose hours every week switching between spreadsheets, paper logs and half-finished apps. So we built the system we wished he'd had."

Herd Farm Central is one place for animals, staff, compliance and money — designed to work in the barn and in the office. We're a small, focused team, and we work directly with the farmers who use it.

Your data stays yours

Export it any time. We never sell it.

Pricing

Priced by herd size. Never by species.

Four plans, in US or Canadian dollars. Every plan includes every species, the offline app and RFID scanning.

Questions

The things farmers ask first.

Do I need separate software for each species?

No. Every species lives in one account at no extra charge. In settings you give each species its own gestation period, breeding age, breeds and growth stages — cattle, pigs, poultry and goats are already listed, and you can add any other.

Can I bring my existing records?

Yes. Import spreadsheets, or photograph paper books and PDFs and let AI read them into animal records for you to check. If it's messy, our Data Migration service does the whole import for you. Set up your species in settings first, so the animals land on the right species, breeds and growth stages.

Does it work without internet?

Yes, 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, and everything syncs once you're back in range.

Is there a free trial?

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. You can also try the live demo right now.
