HerdFlow® - high-level livestock inventory management for the extensive pastoral industry
2025-09-30 12:30 - 13:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Online, Australia
Not having accurate and reconciled herd data is one of the biggest challenges we have observed in the Australian beef industry. Getting accurate numbers in the paddock is difficult enough, but beyond that, there are additional challenges in accurately recording, reconciling, and using this data. This results in a significant bottleneck in understanding and improving herd performance at a herd and industry level.
In addition, the lack of an industry standard or consistent language for categorising livestock classes and/or age groups has contributed to and compounded the problem of inaccurate herd records. This has been addressed with the Australian Herd Classification Guidelines.
In this BeefConnect webinar, join Harry Evans (Bush Agribusiness) when he discusses how these guidelines underpin the classification of animals within the HerdFlow® platform, and outlines how:

HerdFlow captures, reconciles and reports on animal movements within and between business units, locations and enterprises. It can accommodate standalone single enterprise businesses through to large integrated companies, with multiple business units, enterprises and locations.
HerdFlow calculates and reports on kilograms produced, animal units carried, herd inventory values, herd inventory change, herd gross profit, reproductive rate and mortality. Herd emissions are calculated within the report using industry standard calculations.
How budgeted herd data can be entered into, and reported on, within the platform as well as actual.
How data can be imported into the HerdFlow platform.
HerdFlow does not collect detailed herd data that existing herd software products generally do (e.g. check weights, treatments, or paddock moves) and has been developed to complement, not compete with, existing herd software products.

HerdFlow® is the high-level livestock inventory management platform for the extensive pastoral industry that will allow you to assess your herd performance against industry benchmarks using a standardised set of measures.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
