How to run your block

The whole Animals section, one part at a time — adding animals singly or in bulk, finding and editing records, herds, moving stock between paddocks, breeding from mating through birth to weaning, pedigrees and printable records, the milestone timeline, treatments and jobs, and hand rearing.

Setting up a poultry flock, logging the daily egg collection, keeping hen/rooster/chick numbers straight, feed costs and what a dozen really costs you, bird sales and price vs age, incubation and hatching, and processing meat birds.

Adding the dogs and cats, keeping a treatment history with next-due dates that actually reach you, tracking heats and litters, and tracking NZ dog registration so the renewal doesn't sneak up.

Adding paddocks, setting rest targets that change with the season, reading the ready / resting / occupied statuses, moving stock, strip grazing, withholding warnings, and measuring pasture cover instead of counting days.

Drawing your paddock boundaries onto satellite imagery, linking them to your paddock records, fixing a boundary you got wrong, and letting the map work out paddock sizes you never measured.

Setting up the Hand rearing section, adding a bottle lamb or a whole pen of calves, building a feeding plan by age range, logging feeds and working out each mix, and weaning — plus why the app asks you for the amounts instead of telling you.

Getting the section to appear, recording milk, wool and honey against the animals that produced it, where meat yields come from, and how withholding periods protect what you take.

The difference between a job and a reminder, attaching work to animals, herds and paddocks, treatment jobs that handle withholding for you, repeating work, and how things reach you when they're due.

Month and week views, filtering down to jobs, reminders, treatments or withholding, adding a record straight from a day, and the next-14-days list that answers what's coming.

Logging expenses and income, allocating them to the part of the farm they belong to, multi-line invoices, the feed store, and finding out which parts of your block are actually paying their way.

Recording the tractor, quad, chainsaw and pumps, keeping purchase and current values for insurance, and logging services so "when did we last do the quad?" has an answer.

Entering each drench, vaccine and spray once with its label withholding periods — so every treatment you record fills in its own meat, milk, egg, wool and grazing dates without you doing the arithmetic.

Turning the NAIT section on, saving your location number, adding tag numbers and letting the app work out your 180-day deadlines, logging movements and losses, and exporting your register — plus what the app does and what you still file yourself.

Australia's livestock traceability system on a small property — why there's no hobby-farm exemption, your PIC, eID tags for cattle, sheep and goats, who has to record a movement, and keeping NLIS-ready records and exports in the app.
