Apps for Good UK

Ice Cream Sandwich

Do away with the mountain of paperwork that comes with looking after a herd. Cattle Manager lets you read and add information about each of your cows on your mobile as you go around the farm.

The app was created by John, Keiran and Ryan, students at Wick High School in Caithness, Scotland. John, comes from a long line of farmers and helps with his family’s herd. The team know that the last thing farmers want is to be wasting time and energy on paperwork so they have come up with an idea for an app that solves this problem.

FEATURES

- Add and view information about each cow in your herd when you’re on the move

- Get alerts ahead of important dates e.g. when injections are due

- Upload the tag numbers for your herd 

- Everything stored on your mobile phone - no expensive equipment needed

Cattle Manager was developed as part of the Apps for Good programme and won the “Power to do More - getting the most from your time ” category sponsored by Dell at the Apps for Good Awards 2013, the national app competition for young people across the UK. As an Apps for Good Award winner, the team worked with development agency Novoda to have their app prototype built professionally and publicly launched, with the support of Apps for Good and Dell.

Apps for Good is an education movement where young people learn to create apps that change the world. Apps for Good partners with educators across the UK to deliver its course to young people 10-18 years of age. 

Please write a review and let us know how the app works on your farm!
