About

Sheep!

Features
Read full description

Your flock. Your season. All in one place. Sheep! takes you from tupping through scanning to lambing with minimal fuss β€” built for farmers who'd rather be in the field than staring at a spreadsheet. Track every sheep β€” profiles with photos, tag numbers, lineage, and a full activity timeline. Tupping season β€” log daily raddle marks, auto-calculate expected lambing dates, monitor ram activity. Scanning day β€” record singles, twins, triplets and empties in seconds. Lambing entries β€” capture births as they happen: ewe, lamb count, delivery time, assisted births. Season dashboard β€” live progress, forecast vs actuals histogram, and a lambing calendar heat map. Minimal taps. Oops-check validation. Works at midnight in a muddy lambing shed.
