Cornish sheep farmer Steve Penberthy: early adopter of iLivestock

Cornish farmer Steve Penberthy is one of the early adopters of iLivestock. With a fulltime job, next to his sheep farming business, welcomed faster and simpler methods to help him run his sheep farm. Ultimately, to spend more time on his other passion: surfing. That’s where iLivestock came in 🌊🏄📱🐑

On Trewithick Farm, he runs a commercial flock of 150 Suffolks, Dorsets, and Lleyns ewes; and a pedigree flock of Suffolk, Charollais and Texel ewes. Steve uses most - if not all - features in the iLivestock platform as a simple method to manage his pedigree flock of Suffolk sheep and keeping note of the pedigree line.

Key app features that Steve uses:

• Breeding
• Medication
• Weight recording
• Smart grouping
• Compliance
• Reporting

The integration with eWeigh in his Rappa yard means that he can record commercial weights of the lambs throughout their growing time up until they go to market.
