The leading farm management company, Herdwatch is once again marking its 10 year anniversary with another giveaway this June.

Herdwatch is giving away an Agrident AWR300 EID Reader and a Herdwatch Gilet worth almost €1000.

Herdwatch has been at the forefront of farm management innovation for a decade, continuously enhancing its platform to meet the evolving needs of farmers.

Recently, Herdwatch has added a host of new features designed to further streamline farm operations.

These updates include advanced data analytics tools such as its Weight Insights feature, improved user interfaces for easier navigation, and enhanced integration with various farm management systems.

These features empower farmers to make more informed decisions, increase productivity, and ensure regulatory compliance with greater ease.

In today’s fast-paced agricultural landscape, traditional farming methods are continuously evolving with the use of technology. One of the most transformative advancements is the use of EID readers.

These handheld devices revolutionise farm management by enhancing efficiency and saving valuable time.

All bovines born on or after July 1, 2022 in Ireland are now required to be tagged and registered with a tag set containing an electronic identification (EID) tag.

What is an EID reader?

An EID reader is an electronic scanner designed to read electronic ear tags on animals.

This technology streamlines numerous farming tasks, such as weighing animals, tracking health records, and managing medication administration.

While not every farmer may currently use an EID reader, incorporating this tool can significantly simplify and improve farming practices.
