01 — HOW IT WORKS

Start manually.
Automate when ready.

You don't need any hardware to start. Register your animals, track health records and weight — then add smart tags when it makes sense for your operation.

See all features →

Register your flock.

Add every animal — cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, horses. Species, breed, gender, date of birth, purchase history. Your entire flock in the app in under an hour. No hardware needed.

Day 1start recording

Record weight, temp, feed, meds.

Use your existing scale and thermometer. Log weight gains over time, take temperature readings, record every feed and every treatment. Charts build automatically from your first entry.

48hrfever detected early

Add IoT tags when ready.

Clip LoRa ear tags and everything you recorded manually now happens automatically — GPS position, temperature, activity — every 15 minutes. 15km range. No SIM fees. 2.5-year battery.

15kmLoRa range

Act before it costs you.

Theft alerts, fever flags, geofence breaches — all fire instantly. Every event is logged for your vet, insurer, and abattoir. When you sell, the full history is already there.

THE HONEST COMPARISON

Why we
win.

We built HerdSense because every existing livestock tracker was designed for European farms with good cell coverage. South Africa is different. Our hardware reflects that.

ROI CALCULATOR

The maths
is simple.

One stolen cow at R20,000 pays for 10 tags. One fever caught 48 hours earlier saves your entire herd from an outbreak. HerdSense isn't a cost — it's insurance.

BOTTOM LINE

Prevent 1 theft or 1 disease outbreak. System pays for itself.
