Point Your Camera. Read the Tag. Done.

No typing tag numbers. No expensive RFID readers. Just point your phone camera at any ear tag and our AI reads it instantly - even when tags are dirty, worn, or in low light.

Works with standard visual ear tags. Recognition happens in under a second. This is what modern livestock management looks like.

AI-Powered OCR Technology

Machine learning trained on thousands of real farm ear tags. Reads numbers accurately regardless of dirt, wear, angle, or lighting conditions. No expensive hardware required.

Sub-Second Recognition

Point and shoot. Tag number appears in under a second. Record entire herd in minutes.

Works in Low Light

Reliable recognition in shade, dusk, or barn conditions. No perfect lighting required.

Standard Phone Camera

Uses your regular smartphone camera. No additional hardware investment needed.

Full Traceability from Birth to Sale

Every single thing that happens to an animal gets recorded. When it's time to sell or someone asks for records, just hit export and email a complete lifetime report. No scrambling for paperwork. No guessing.

Complete Animal History in One Click

All Vaccines & Treatments

Every vaccine, dewormer, and medication logged with dates, dosages, and products used. Withdrawal periods tracked automatically.

Weight & Growth Records

Complete weight history with charts showing growth curves. See exactly how each animal performed from birth to sale weight.

Full Breeding History

Dam, sire, breeding dates, calving records, and offspring lineage. Complete genetic history for pedigree documentation.

Photos & Attachments

Email Ready Reports

Perfect for Compliance & Sales

Whether it's a livestock inspector, a buyer wanting full history, your vet needing treatment records, or insurance requiring proof of vaccination - just export the report and send it. Everything documented, timestamped, and professional. No more searching through filing cabinets or trying to remember dates from last year.

The Records That Sell Cattle

Buyers pay more for animals with complete records. Show them you run a professional operation with documented health history, verified weights, and full traceability. It's the difference between "I think we vaccinated it" and proof.
