Cotswolds-based sheep farmer and consultant Abby Cook doesn’t have time for paperwork, and she doesn’t think farming should rely on it either.

Running her flock like a business, Abby focuses on measurable performance. That means recording data as she goes—whether she’s treating a ewe, condition scoring, or managing tasks out in the field.

“I was literally skipping around like, ‘Oh, this makes my life so easy!’ If you don’t have a lot of time, it’s a lot easier to record as you go. I can catch a ewe, treat her, log it on my phone, and it’s done before I even let her go.”

By switching to real-time digital records, Abby has cut admin time, improved accuracy, and gained a clearer view of which sheep are actually delivering results.

“It becomes as essential as your sheepdogs, your truck, or your quad.”
