Why Haytide

  • The whole flock in minutes

    Set up the whole herd in one form: how many ewes, rams and lambs per species, or tags in series that you check one by one. Or import the spreadsheet you already keep.

  • One farm, everyone sees the same

    Invite family and helpers with a code. What one person records in the barn, the others see straight away, with the name of who recorded it.

  • Your data is yours

    Export everything to CSV whenever you like. No ads, no tracking.

Haytide doesn’t replace official reporting.

The everyday work

  • “Record now” in the barn

    One button for a birth, treatment, weight or move: pick what happened, then the animals or the whole group. Tapped the wrong one? Undo.

  • Breeding, lambing and lineage

    Note when the ram went in and out, and see when lambing and kidding are due and who is overdue. Births with sire and dam, twins and triplets, three generations back.

  • Weigh-ins that answer something

    Weigh a whole group in one form, like this year’s lambs. Daily gain is worked out, and the lowest gainers are flagged so you can select them.

  • Health in the words you use

    FAMACHA, body condition (BCS) and worming, with the date the withdrawal period ends. Tasks with due dates, and repeating ones come back by themselves.

  • Sold, culled, died or lost

    Record why an animal left, with date, reason, buyer and price, and undo it if it was wrong. Mark animals that stay as For sale or Cull watch.

  • Fast at the desk too

    On a computer the lists have keyboard shortcuts. Select many animals and move them, mark them sold or add an event in one go, with Undo.

Questions and answers

Which animals can I keep records for?
Sheep and goats are where Haytide is strongest, with breeding, expected lambing and kidding, FAMACHA, body condition and worming. Cattle, pigs, horses and chickens are built in too, and you can add your own species.
How does it help at lambing time?
Record breeding for many ewes at once, with one date or ram in and out. Haytide adds a task for the expected lambing, shows who is overdue, and the birth with sire, dam and lambs takes seconds.
Does Haytide work on my phone?
Yes, it is made for the phone. Open Haytide in the browser and choose “Add to Home Screen”, and it sits there like an app. It also works on tablets and computers. For now it needs an internet connection; working without signal comes in a later version.
Can several people use the same farm?
Yes. The owner invites people with a code, and every member sees and records on the same farm in real time. Every entry shows who made it.
Can I bring my data from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Haytide reads CSV from Excel and other programs and shows what will be imported before anything is saved.
Does Haytide replace official reporting?
No. Haytide is your barn notebook. You still do official reporting the way you do today.
What does Haytide cost?
It is free while Haytide is in beta. Later it stays free for farms with up to 100 animals, and Pro costs USD 19 a month, or USD 190 a year, for farms with more than 100 animals.
