The result is a fully digital sheep movement and management system that saves time while improving record accuracy.

Batch Sheep Recording

For many farms, batch recording remains the quickest and simplest way to manage day-to-day sheep movements.

The software allows you to easily record groups of sheep moving between fields, grazing areas, housing, markets, or buyers without needing to scan every animal individually.

Typical examples include:
Moving ewes to different grazing
Recording batches of lambs sold
Transferring store lambs between fields
Recording purchased sheep arrivals
Managing seasonal flock movements

This method is ideal for farms that require efficient compliance recording without the need for full individual tracking.

Example: Recording a Lamb Sale.Recording sheep sales is designed to be fast and straightforward. For example, if a farm sells 120 lambs:
Open the 'Sheep Manager'. then Select 'Lambs', Choose 'Sales'.Enter the quantity sold from the selected farm area, Input the sale date, Select the market or buyer from the dropdown menu, Select the transport method from the drop down menu,and Save the transaction

The software will then:

Automatically update the movement book, Reduce the flock balance accordingly, Store the sale history and you can also choose whether or not to record prices, weights, and buyer information.
