Cattle & Dairy Farm ERP
Track every animal individually — milk yield, feed consumed, breeding cycle, vaccinations and treatment — and see which animals in your herd actually pay for themselves.
The Herd, Animal by Animal
A dairy herd is not one asset, it is a hundred small businesses standing in a shed. Some animals return three times what they consume; some have not conceived in fourteen months and are eating through the margin the good ones earn. Without animal-level records that difference is invisible, and culling decisions get made on impression rather than evidence.
Our cattle and dairy farm ERP gives every animal a permanent record: parentage, lactation history, daily milk yields, ration and feed cost, breeding events, veterinary treatment and withdrawal periods. Feed issued to a group is apportioned across its animals, milk is captured per animal per milking, and the system reports the one number that matters — margin per animal, per litre and per day.

Every Animal Earns Its Place — or Doesn't
Daily capture that takes minutes, records that build for years, and decisions backed by numbers.
A permanent record for every animal
Each animal is registered with its tag, breed, date of birth, parentage and purchase or birth cost, and from that point everything attaches to it: lactation numbers, calving dates, dry-off dates, service and pregnancy events, illnesses, treatments and the withdrawal periods those treatments impose. When an animal is sold or culled the record closes with its lifetime yield, lifetime cost and net contribution — which is the only honest basis for judging whether the purchase was a good one.
Yield and feed on the same ledger
Milk is captured per animal per milking, morning and evening, on a fast entry screen or from a milk meter where one is installed. Feed is usually issued to a group — a shed, a pen, a lactation stage — so the system apportions the ration cost across the animals in that group by their intake standard, and adds concentrate or supplement issued individually. Because yield and feed cost sit on the same record, feed conversion is a live figure and a drop in an individual animal's efficiency shows up in days rather than at the end of a lactation.
Alerts that prevent the expensive mistakes
The costly errors in a dairy are missed heats, late pregnancy checks, overdue vaccinations, and milk sold inside a treatment withdrawal period. Each of those is a dated event the system tracks and surfaces on a due console every morning, with the animal, the action and how overdue it is. Milk from an animal under withdrawal is blocked from dispatch entry, which protects the buyer relationship as much as the herd. Breeding intervals, conception rates per bull or straw and calving distribution build up as reports that make the next season's breeding plan an informed one.
Dairy Farm ERP Questions
Common questions from dairy and livestock farm owners.
Milk capture for a hundred-animal herd takes a few minutes per milking on the mobile entry screen, because the list is pre-loaded with the animals in milk and the operator only types quantities. Feed issues are one entry per group per day. Health and breeding events are entered as they happen, and most farms find the due-alert console saves more time than the entry costs.
Yes. Where RFID ear tags or neck bands are in use we integrate the reader so animals are identified automatically at the parlour, and electronic milk meters can post yields directly. Farms without that hardware use manual tag numbers and typed quantities, and can add automation later without re-entering their history.
Feed issued to a group is apportioned across the animals in that group according to intake standards you configure by lactation stage, body weight class or dry/milking status, and anything issued to a single animal is booked to it directly. This gives a defensible animal-level cost without requiring individual feeding, and the standards can be tuned as your own data accumulates.
Yes. Every animal in the herd carries a status — calf, heifer, milking, dry, pregnant, bull, culled — and cost accumulates against it in every status. That is what makes the lifetime figures meaningful: a heifer that consumed feed for two years before her first lactation shows that investment in her record.
Yes. Dispatch to chilling centres, processors, retail routes and direct customers is recorded with quantity, fat and SNF where tested, rate and buyer ledger posting. Route-wise collection, rejections and rate differences are tracked, and buyer receivables age on the same console as the rest of the business.
