BarnDesk: Farm & Livestock

Less paperwork, more pasture. BarnDesk is livestock record keeping for family farms — cattle, goats, sheep, chickens, pigs, and bees.

The mobile-first farm management app for small-to-mid family farms running mixed livestock, whether you keep a backyard homestead or a working ranch. Built by a working farmer in Tennessee because nothing on the market handled the whole operation right.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH BARNDESK

— Track every animal across every species. Breed, sex, date of birth, tag, lineage, status. Lifecycle terms built in — bull, cow, heifer, doe, doeling, wether — your whole herd management in one place.

— Snap any farm receipt. BarnDesk reads the vendor and the totals, then files each line item to the right IRS Schedule F category — Feed, Vet, Fuel, Repairs, Supplies. Year-to-date totals on your home screen. No more April panic.

— Log births in one tap. Twins and triplets handled natively. Birth weights captured on the spot.

— Score parasites with FAMACHA, log vaccinations with dose and withholding period, track hoof trims and treatments. Every health record stays tied to the animal forever.

— Plot growth charts and average daily gain. A weaning weight tracker with birth, wean, yearling, check, and pre-sale weights. Mark-as-weaned with one tap.

— Run protocols that schedule themselves. Annual vaccinations, parasite cycles, breeding follow-ups, kidding and calving — all on the calendar before you have to remember to put them there.

— Manage hay, feed, and supply inventory with par levels and low-stock alerts.

— Share farm operations with family or farm hands. Up to 5 members on Pro, 15 on Pro+.

— Reports for vaccination compliance, weaning and ADG, herd inventory, and the year-in-review Annual Herd report. Printable, exportable, ready for your tax preparer.

LESS PAPERWORK. MORE PASTURE.

BarnDesk is built on Blackey Farms in Castalian Springs, Tennessee — Black Angus cattle, Kiko goats, chickens, honeybees, and a Great Pyrenees named Milo who thinks he runs the place. Every feature exists because something on the farm was annoying enough to fix.
