## Description

HerdBoss is a complete livestock management extension for breeders of goats, cattle, sheep, and dogs. It tracks every animal's details—name, registration, sex, DNA, weights, medical history, and lineage—and supports multiple species within a single account. It also includes more than 20 built-in reports and the ability to create custom reports.

Key features include RFID/EID tag scanning, online and offline syncing, cloud data sharing across your team, and bulk actions to update records quickly. The app works with Bluetooth LE tag readers on iOS, offers a free plan for up to 25 animals, and a 30-day trial for paid plans with unlimited storage and optional Photos & Docs storage.

## Review summary

Overall, reviews praise HerdBoss for comprehensive, easy-to-use herd management, strong mobile accessibility, and reliable customer support, with handy PDF reports. The most frequent requests are for bulk input/editing, an all-herd overview (totals across all herds and lambing dates), support for photos (animal and papers), and multi-species coverage (goats in addition to sheep). These recurring themes indicate where users want improvements as herds grow and diversify.

### Pros

- Comprehensive herd management features (weights, shots/medications, births, FAMACHA, pedigrees) in one app
- Easy to use and reliable interface for day-to-day herd records
- Excellent customer support/IT help; responsive and helpful
- Ability to print/export reports (PDFs) for record keeping and sharing
- Good suitability for large herds and on-the-go use (mobile access)

### Cons

- Bulk editing and bulk input (shots/meds, treatments) needs improvements or easier bulk options
- Lack of a cross-herd overview (totals across all herds and all-lambing dates); users want an all-in-one view
- Limited support for photos (animal photos and registration papers) across records
- Multi-species coverage (goats, horses) is incomplete; users want goats or a separate app for goats
- Some users desire UI customization options (e.g., left-hand menu customization)
