Is HI-Tier reporting available for sheep and goats?

Yes. The census and movements are records of their own with their own export — the same approach as for cattle and pigs.

Do I have to keep an ear tag for sheep?

In the system the ear tag is a required field for cattle only. For sheep and goats you may record it, but you do not have to.

How do I set up a grazing rotation?

In a single form for the whole rotation. You do not have to click through paddock by paddock.

Does this sound familiar?

The census date lives in your head

The census and every movement have to be reported. The date sits in a calendar or a memory — until once it does not get noticed.

Grazing by feel

Which paddock is next gets decided by recollection. A rotation plan rarely exists in writing, and even more rarely in a form anyone can check.

Care that slips through

Hoof trimming and shearing repeat at fixed intervals. Someone still has to remember — and eventually nobody does.

How your farm works with FarmManager

HI-Tier for sheep and goats

The census and movements are kept as records of their own, separately for sheep and goats, as the report requires, and can be exported. With an HI-Tier connection (farm number and PIN) they go to HI-Tier, the synchronisation takes the official status over into the register, and FarmManager reminds you of the next census report.

Animal management

A grazing rotation in one form

A whole rotation – stations, cycles and rest period – is authored in a single form; the individual grazing plans come out of it. The grazing calendar shows per area and paddock where plans overlap, the rest period is too short or the stocking is too high – as a notice, not as a block. You adjust rest period and maximum stocking per paddock; the grazing diary and pasture KPIs fall out of it alongside.

Land management

A cycle for hoof care and shearing

A cycle in days sets when hoof care or shearing is due again; FarmManager reminds you of it. Hoof trimming, foot baths and lameness checks recur the same way. Treatments and vaccinations carry their withdrawal periods, kept apart for milk and meat.

Animal management Animal health

Stock without cattle rules

The ear tag is a required field for cattle only — sheep and goats can be kept without fighting a form. A herd move is held as an animal event and the herd can be set straight in the table. Whoever made the move is recorded on the event automatically.
