Cornish sheep farmer Steve Penberthy: early adopter of iLivestock

Shared by Yoni • February 06, 2023

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.

Feature update

New EID reader equipment integrations

Shared by Yoni • January 16, 2023

As of today, iLivestock now also integrates with Gallagher W0 and Tru-Test S3, on android as well as iOS. This means we now offer a full range of EID reader equipment integrations. To our knowledge, we are the first to integrate with Gallagher W0. But there is more: we’ve enhanced the workflow for customers using a Tru-Test EziWeigh 7i, improved the Bluetooth connection and fixed a few login bugs.

We hope you'll enjoy the product improvements and that it will speed up your animal recording 🐑📱🐏🐄📓
