How Does FlockFinder Help During Lambing Season?
Lambing season—arguably the most exciting, exhausting, and slightly chaotic time of year. Whether you're knee-deep in newborns or between midnight checks, bottle-feeding surprise triplets, and making sure ewes are bouncing back, it’s a whirlwind. The last thing you need? Drowning in paperwork or losing track of important treatments and births. Staying organised is the difference between smooth sailing and total mayhem. That’s where FlockFinder comes in. We know that during lambing, every second counts, and the last thing you need is paperwork piling up or important details slipping through the cracks. Designed to take the stress out of flock management, FlockFinder helps you keep accurate, real-time records—all from your phone. No more soggy notebooks, missing ear tag numbers, or trying to remember which lamb got what at 3 AM. So, here’s how FlockFinder helps you stay on top of it all:

Keep Your Medicine Records Updated
Lambing moves fast. You treat a ewe, inject a lamb, and think, “I’ll write that down later.” But later never comes, and by the time you remember, you’re questioning which lamb needed what.
✅ FlockFinder’s Medicine Book lets you record treatments instantly, straight from your phone.
✅ Automatic dosage calculations based on weight, ensuring accuracy every time.
✅ Built-in withdrawal period tracking from the Veterinary Medicine Database, so you never second-guess meat or milk safety.
💡 How FlockFinder helps:
Simply open the app, select the sheep or lamb, enter the treatment, and let FlockFinder do the rest. No scribbled notes, no forgotten treatments—just quick, accurate, and compliant medicine records at your fingertips.
Be Prepared: Stock Your Lambing Shed
Preparation is half the battle. Before the first ewe drops a lamb, you need to be ready.
✔ Clean, dry pens ready to go? Check.
✔ Colostrum, iodine, and heat lamps within arm’s reach? Check.
✔ Enough coffee to keep you functional? Absolutely necessary.
✔ Milk jugs? However many you think you need—double it.
💡 How FlockFinder helps:
Lambing season moves fast, and it’s easy to forget the little things. A pre-lambing checklist helps you stay organised—set reminders for key tasks like stocking up on colostrum or checking cameras at night. When you’re running on minimal sleep, a well-prepared shed (and a solid plan) makes all the difference.
Track Your Progress
Lambing isn’t just about getting the lambs on the ground—it’s about monitoring performance to improve results year after year.
📊 Lambing % Calculator – Track how many lambs each ewe produces to assess flock fertility.
⚖ Birth weights & growth rates (DLWG) – Record lamb weights at birth and weaning for better management decisions.

📖 Lineage records – Assign lambs to their mothers instantly, making pedigree tracking simple.

Map Your Fields & Stocking Rates
As lambs grow, they’ll need to move to pasture—but keeping track of groups can quickly get out of hand. Where did the twin group go? How many lambs are in each field?
🗺 FlockFinder’s Field Mapping lets you allocate lambs to different fields, ensuring you always know who’s where.
📍 Track stocking rates to prevent overgrazing and optimise grass use.
🔎 Keep a live count see what animals you have where... know how many lambs you have left to sell and where they are!

💡 How FlockFinder helps:
With a simple tap, you can assign lambs to a field, check stocking densities, and ensure every group is in the right place. No more second-guessing or wasting time searching for lost lambs.
More Hands on the Farm? Keep Everyone in the Loop
Lambing season often means extra people around the farm—whether it’s student vets, extra farm workers, or family members helping out. Keeping track of who's done what (and making sure things don’t get missed) can be a challenge.
✅ With FlockFinder’s Team Feature, you can add unlimited members to your holding for FREE—giving everyone access to up-to-date records.
✅ Whether it’s recording a lambing, logging a treatment, or tracking field movements, your whole team stays on the same page.
✅ No more relying on WhatsApp messages, notebooks, or memory—everyone has access to real-time updates.
💡 How FlockFinder helps:
Instead of passing around notes or trying to remember what was done overnight, simply add your team members to FlockFinder and let them log tasks directly in the app. This makes communication smoother, improves accuracy, and saves you from re-doing work that’s already been done.
