For livestock managers
Your eyes stay on the cattle, and the record keeps up.
At the crush the iPad reads your scale and records each weight, dose, giver and gate as the animal walks through, with or without signal. From that one entry the office knows when every animal can leave.
Ahead of a sick pen
You’ll see a pen turning while it’s still a few head. A pen’s treatments and its bunk call are read against its head and its capacity, and the office home names it the morning they add up.

At the crush
At the crush, the animal’s record comes to you, and the call is yours. Its withholding, any open flag and the gate its own figures suggest are above the work before you start, and your tap decides where it goes.

On your days off
On your days off, the crush still runs the way you set it up. Each dose is worked from the weight just read, rounded up to what the gun can be set to, taken off the batch you chose and named to whoever gave it.

Watching the run
Watch the run from wherever you are, and let an owner watch their own cattle come through. Box head on its picture to put them in a mob or export them, or share one owner’s head by link: they open it with a code and see only their own.

Made for the crush
Made to be read at arm’s length in direct sun, through gloves.
Text never shrinks to fit, the screen stays awake through a run, and a saved record feels different in the hand from a refused one, because your eyes are on the animal.
FAQ
Questions livestock managers ask.
How fast is it at the crush?
A head takes 16 seconds to weigh and draft, and 1.4 seconds of that is on the iPad.
CrushWhich scales and readers does it work with?
The ones already at your crush, over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or an adaptor. Where a scale has no link, the iPad’s camera reads its display.
Works withHow are deaths recorded?
The phone drafts the death with a cause from your list, the day and up to six photos stamped with the feedlot’s date and time. The office confirms it, and the record keeps the animal as it stood when it died.
HealthDoes it help with NFAS?
Every dose names who gave it and its batch, every medicine states its withholding period, and every death keeps its cause, so what an auditor asks for is already in the records.
