Herd It Here First: March Features to Keep Your Farm Moving
Managing a farm is full-on, and the last thing you need is clunky admin slowing you down. That’s why we’re always working on ways to make FlockFinder more useful, practical, and time-saving. Our March update includes new tools to help with medication tracking, breeding records, livestock identification, and farm organisation, all designed to make day-to-day tasks easier. Here’s what’s new and how it helps make your life easier.
🐑💊 Smarter Medication Management
Keeping track of animal treatments shouldn’t be a guessing game. With this update, adding medication records is now faster and more accurate. Instead of manually typing everything in, you can select from a pre-defined list sourced from the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) database, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
For those who regularly use the same treatments, our new duplication feature means you can copy previous records in one tap. No more flicking through old notes or re-entering the same details—just quick, reliable record-keeping that keeps everything in order so you can focus on the animals not the admin.
📈🐄 Log and Track Breeding Scanning Results
Keeping on top of breeding season is critical for planning ahead. Now, you can record scanning results directly in FlockFinder, making it easier to track fertility, manage ewe performance, and improve productivity.
Instead of juggling spreadsheets or notebooks, everything is stored in one place, helping you monitor trends, make informed breeding decisions, and maximise flock efficiency.
📸 Attach Photos to Animal Records
Your livestock aren’t just numbers on a screen—they’re the heart of your farm. With this update, you can now attach photos to individual animal records, making identification easier and adding a personal touch to your records.
Whether it’s a standout ram, a group of breeding ewes, or just a handy way to track an animal’s progress, having images linked to their profiles helps you keep better records while making livestock management more visual and practical.
🌾🎨 Colour-Coded Field Labels for Better Organisation
Good farm management starts with clear organisation, and this feature makes it easier than ever. You can now add custom labels to your fields and colour-code them, helping you track grazing rotations, crop use, seasonal planning, or any other system that works for you.
At a glance, you’ll be able to see what’s happening where, reducing confusion and improving planning.
🤝🚜 Add Unlimited Team Members to Your Holding
Farming is rarely a solo effort. With this update, you can add as many contributors as you need to your FlockFinder account. Whether it’s family members, farm staff, or advisers, everyone can stay in the loop without relying on WhatsApp messages or scribbled notes.
By giving your team access to real-time updates, you can improve communication and coordination, keeping everything running smoothly.
📝🐓 Easily Edit Farm Details Anytime
Your farm details aren’t set in stone, and now updating them is easier than ever. You can edit your farm name, County Parish Holding (CPH) number, or Flock Number directly in the app.
This means your records always stay up to date, no matter what changes on your farm.
Designed for Farmers, Built to Save You Time
We’re always looking for ways to make farm management simpler, smarter, and more efficient, so you spend less time on admin and more time on the things that matter.
If you have any feedback or ideas for new features, we’d love to hear them—FlockFinder is built for farmers, and your input helps shape its future.
