Know what’s in
your field.
Point your phone at an animal. Get a count you can correct, a weight range from its build, and a straight answer on whether a vet should look.
Free to start. No card, no collar, no hardware — it runs on the phone you already have.
The problem
You can see your animals. You still don’t know.
Counting is slow, weighing needs a crush, and “does this look wrong to you?” is the whole diagnostic.
How many came back?
You counted them out this morning. Counting them back at dusk means standing at the gate while they push past you, twice, and hoping you didn’t double-count the one that turned around.
What does that animal weigh?
A weigh band means catching it, holding it, and reading a tape around its chest. So it doesn’t get done — and you sell by eye, which is how buyers win.
Does this need a vet?
Something looks wrong on its flank. A vet visit costs money and a day; not calling costs more if you’re wrong. You need a second opinion before you decide.
What it does
Three answers, from one phone.
Count the herd
Stand at the gate and draw a line across the screen. Animals are counted live as they walk through, on the phone, with no signal needed. Or photograph the herd and get a count back.
You can correct any count. We keep both numbers.
Weigh an animal
One animal, side on, whole body in frame. It judges the build — chest depth, frame length, how it stands — and gives you a weight range in kilograms with its reasoning.
A range, never a single figure. Add a weigh-band reading if you have one.
Does this need a vet?
Photograph what looks wrong. You get two to four possible causes, how soon a vet should see the animal, whether to keep it away from the herd tonight, and what to check yourself in the next ten minutes.
Possible causes, not a diagnosis — a vet confirms what it is.
How it works
Point. Read. Correct.
The third step is the one that matters.
Point your phone
The app tells you what it needs before you shoot — how far back, side on, whole body in frame.
Read the answer
A count, a weight range, or a description of what is visible. Each one says what it is and what it is not.
Correct it
Tap the number and put in what you counted, or what the weigh band read. Yours is the number we keep.
Why you can trust the number
It tells you when it can’t tell.
Most software would rather answer badly than not answer. This one refuses — and that refusal is the reason the numbers it does give you are worth something.
From chest depth, body length, stance
It gives a range, not a number.
A photograph can’t tell you an animal weighs 37 kg. It can tell you 32–41 kg, and show you what it went on — chest depth, frame length, how it stands. A single confident figure would look like a measurement. It isn’t one, so you don’t get one.
No estimate from this photo
Two animals in frame
It says no to a bad photo.
Two animals in frame, or one facing you, or half a body — and you get “no estimate from this photo” with the reason, not a plausible number. You can retake a photo. You can’t tell that a weight it invented is wrong just by looking at the animal.

Possible causes
- ·orf
- ·a healing wound
It says what it might be, and never that it is sure.
From one photograph you get two to four possible causes, most likely first — or none, if it cannot narrow them down. Never one, because a single name reads as a verdict. Never a percentage, because nothing here computes one. And where a cause is notifiable or can infect people, it says report it and do not handle the animal, whatever else it thought.
Every count it gives you, you can correct. We keep both numbers — what it guessed and what you measured — because that’s the only way anyone finds out whether it’s any good.
