Read full description

Less paperwork. Better cattle records. Works without reception. Livestock Library is cattle management built for Australian conditions — every animal, movement, treatment and dollar in one place, with an assistant that actually knows your herd. IN THE YARDS — NO SIGNAL NEEDED Work fully offline all day and sync when you're back at the shed. Nothing is lost between musters, and nothing is entered twice. • Individual animals and mobs in one record — no choosing between plans • Drenches, vaccines and treatments, with the withholding clock started for you • Weights and daily gain, pregnancy testing, calving and weaning • Speak a paddock note — "drenched 4471 and her calf" — and confirm the records it drafts with a tap • Photos, visitor sign-in for your biosecurity register, and the day's jobs, all on your phone BACK AT THE OFFICE The same records roll straight into the office side on the web — no re-typing. • NLIS and PIC compliance and movement history, kept the way an audit expects: nothing overwritten, corrections traceable • Consignment paperwork drafted from your own records — you always review and sign • Account sales, a cost ledger, and a reconciled livestock trading statement — the numbers your accountant and bank actually read • Agistment head-day accrual, feed stock, staff records and to-dos • Multi-property roll-up, with team access scoped by role and property ASK YOUR FARM Ask a plain-English question — "which cows are still in withholding this week?" — and get an answer straight from your own records, with the source shown. The compliance maths is done by code, never guessed, and the assistant never makes numbers up. YOUR DATA, ALWAYS YOURS Your records live in your account and export cleanly whenever you want them. No lock-in. EVERY SIZE OF OPERATION From a hobby block to a pastoral company — start free on up to 200 head, no card required. Bigger operations scale up without changing products. Livestock Library is Australian-built and works where you do. Download the app, create your farm, and start in the yards today.
