Accurate flock records do more than keep you compliant. They help you make better management decisions, save time on paperwork and build a more efficient, profitable flock.
That's why Hannah Jackson, better known as The Red Shepherdess, uses MyFarmWorks with the Shearwell X6 Stock Recorder to record sheep wherever she is working. By scanning EID tags and syncing records instantly to the cloud, flock information is always up to date and ready when she needs it.
Watch the video below to see how Hannah uses MyFarmWorks to keep sheep recording quick, simple and up to date.
