What our members say

"I now record all my medicine purchases straight after I buy it, I just put it into Herdwatch as I have a cup of tea, when I need to inject an animal I can just record that there and then. There is great peace of mind knowing that you are on top of your compliance."

"I literally did all my weights on Herdwatch as they where in the shoot; the weights went to the ICBF and the dosing was recorded for Bord Bia."
