Evaluate every animal objectively with standardized scoring tools and data-driven rankings
Record BCS assessments on the standard 1-5 scale at key lifecycle stages. Track condition changes over time to optimize nutrition and identify animals that are over or under conditioned before it affects production.
Rate animals across multiple dimensions including milk production, reproduction efficiency, temperament, and health history. Combine weighted scores into an overall performance index for objective comparison.
Automatically rank animals within your herd based on composite scores. Identify your best genetics for breeding, flag underperformers for management review, and track rank changes over time.

A structured approach to evaluating and improving your herd quality
Set up your scoring parameters including BCS scale, production metrics, health weights, and reproduction factors. Customize the importance of each criterion to match your farm's priorities.
Score animals using the mobile app during routine farm walks or scheduled assessment sessions. Record BCS, visual observations, and any notes directly from the field.
The system automatically combines assessment data with production and health records to generate comprehensive rankings for your entire herd.
Use rankings to guide breeding selections, culling decisions, nutrition adjustments, and management interventions. Track improvements over successive assessments.
Objective, data-backed assessments that improve your herd year over year
Replace subjective opinions with standardized scoring. Every animal is evaluated using the same criteria, making comparisons fair and consistent across assessors.
Identify genetically superior animals for breeding by combining production data, conformation scores, and health history into a single performance index.
BCS tracking at key lifecycle stages helps fine-tune feeding programs to ensure animals are in optimal condition for calving, breeding, and peak lactation.
Monitor how your herd's average scores improve over generations as you select the best animals for breeding and cull the lowest performers.
