HERDMASTER is a herd management app built for rabbit and cavy breeders. Keep essential records organized at home, in the barn, and at shows. Keep working with locally stored herd records offline after sign-in and any required account checks. MANAGE YOUR HERD • Create detailed animal profiles with identification, breed, variety, purpose, ownership, photos, notes, and history. • Search and organize active, sold, transferred, and archived animals. • Track weights, health records, schedules, and important dates. BREEDING AND LITTERS • Plan and record breedings with species-aware milestones. • Track pregnancies, litters, kits, fostering, weaning, and outcomes. • Keep sire, dam, and descendant information connected. PEDIGREES AND IMPORTS • Pedigrees show the animal with its parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. • Generate polished pedigree PDFs and share them through iOS. • Import from Evans (XML, HTM, or text-based PDF pedigrees) and Everbreed (CSV exports or a public pedigree link). Import options vary by plan. SHOW TOOLS • Prepare rabbit and cavy show entries using breed and age-class rules. • Organize multiple shows in one weekend, review entries, override classes when needed, and hand a completed entry to iOS Mail. • Record show results and winnings with the animal's history. SALES AND PAYMENT REQUESTS • Record the buyer and sold date on each animal. • Share a Venmo or PayPal payment request for physical animal-related transactions. HERDMASTER does not process or confirm those payments. SYNC, BACKUP, AND CONTROL • iCloud sync is a limited pilot feature. The pilot is temporarily paused, so iCloud sync is not currently available. If the pilot resumes, access will be limited to approved participants who also have a Breeder or Show Breeder plan. Purchasing a plan does not grant pilot access. • Export records and delete your account from inside the app. HERDMASTER accounts must be created and maintained by an adult age 18 or older. A person age 13 through 17 may use HERDMASTER only through an account created and maintained by that person's parent or legal guardian. Some features require a paid subscription or lifetime purchase.
