New Stockman Units Join Customer Herds as Manufacturing Gathers Pace

Herd Advance has reached another important milestone, with new Stockman units progressing through manufacture and preparing to begin work on customer farms.

Developed by cattle farmers for cattle farmers, Stockman combines precision hardware with data-driven software to provide continuous insight into individual animal performance and health.

As cattle visit the water station, Stockman automatically identifies and weighs each animal, collects valuable herd data and enables selected cattle to be drafted remotely. This reduces the need for repeated gathering and manual handling while helping farmers make earlier, better-informed management decisions.

Our manufacturing programme is focused on producing a robust, reliable and practical system capable of operating in demanding commercial farm environments. Each new unit represents another step in moving Stockman into wider commercial production and making its benefits available to more cattle businesses.

Jilly Duncan Grant, Co-Founder and CEO of Herd Advance, said:

“We developed Stockman because we understand first-hand the pressures cattle farmers face. Seeing new units move through manufacture and prepare to join customer herds is an exciting milestone for the business.

“Stockman is designed to reduce labour demand, support earlier health intervention and give farmers the real-time information they need to improve herd performance, welfare and profitability.”

With further units planned for customer farms, Herd Advance is continuing to strengthen its manufacturing, installation and customer-support capabilities as Stockman moves into the next stage of commercial growth.
