The herd system your barn managers will actually use.
Check-ins, closeouts, feed orders and movement paperwork for every site you run, filed from a phone in the barn aisle. Built for operations moving tens of thousands of head across dozens of locations.
Farrow to finish. Sows, nursery, finishing, feed and trucking in one place.

Organized around the operator’s day
The people using this are walking barns all day. The screens follow the work they are already doing, in the order they do it.
Also in there: trucking and load booking, site visits, alerts and reminders, and reports you can export.
- Daily check-ins that take a minute
- Mortality, feed level and barn conditions go in from a phone at the pen. The day's numbers are rolled up before the morning call.
- Closeouts without the spreadsheet
- Cost per head, days on feed and group performance build as the turn runs, so the closeout is ready the day the barn empties.
- Feed ordering and settlement
- Orders to the mill, deliveries against bins, and settlement matched to what was billed. Discrepancies surface while they are still arguable.
- Movement paperwork that prints
- Owner-shipper certificates and bills of lading come off the load itself, with premises IDs and destinations already filled in.
- Breeding and gestation
- Heat, service, pregnancy checks and farrowing on one timeline per sow — the same boards your breeding staff already keep, minus the paper.
- Health records that hold up
- Treatments, withdrawal windows and photos tied to the animal and the barn, ready the day a buyer or a vet asks for them.
Mobile-first, genuinely
If recording a death means walking back to the office computer, it gets recorded late or not at all.
One system across every site
No separate install per location, and no consultant reconciling them at month end.
The whole lifecycle
Health-only tools leave feed, movement and settlement in a spreadsheet one person understands.
Your feed mill logs in too
Feed ordering usually lives in a phone call, and the barn finds out it went wrong when the bin runs empty. Here the order goes to the mill and the mill answers in the system, so the barn, the office and the mill are reading the same numbers.
- 1
You send the order
It lands in the mill's portal with the delivery address, the bin and the window you need it in.
- 2
The mill answers with a number
A mill that can only fill nine of twelve tons says nine. That comes back to your desk as a one-tap counter-offer instead of a voicemail somebody has to remember.
- 3
Quantity stays your call
The mill picks the feed and the delivery date. How many pounds move is the farm's decision, every time.
Mills see their orders and nothing else. A mill’s login shows the orders addressed to that mill, the delivery address and the window. No head counts, no costs, no other suppliers, no other farms.
Already have dispatch software? Mills running their own can connect it directly and skip the portal. Same orders, same rules, same visibility.

Four screens carry most of a day. Ask for a walkthrough and we will run every one of them against numbers that look like yours.
Your data sits in your own database
Every customer gets a separate database. While the application is serving a request it holds a connection to exactly one of them.
A bug in our code cannot show your numbers to another producer, because that request has no connection to their data to get wrong. Inside your company, your administrator decides which farms each person can see, and can add or remove people at any time.
PigGrid staff can help run your account — setting up your team, fixing a permission, importing data — and every action our staff take in your company is written to an audit trail that lives in your own database, where your administrator can read it.
Questions we get asked
- What does it cost?
- Pricing is per operation, sized by head count and sites, and we quote it in the first conversation. There is no public price list because a 3,000-head site and a 100,000-head system are not the same product.
- How long does it take to get running?
- Usually days. We set up your sites, barns and groups with you, and barn staff can file their first check-in from their own phones the same day they get the link.
- Our barn staff aren't software people.
- A check-in is a short form on a phone. If they can send a text, they can file one. The office sees the rollup without chasing anyone for numbers.
- Who owns our data?
- You do. Your records live in a database that belongs to your operation alone, and if you ever leave, you take them with you.
See it against your own numbers
A working walkthrough with real closeout and mortality data in it, rather than a slide deck. Tell us roughly how many head and sites you run and we will shape the demo to match.
