Sound familiar?
These are the questions that get asked across the shed every day. Calfmate answers them before anyone has to ask.
Nothing slips through the gaps
-
“Has the new calf had colostrum?”
Nobody has to guess. Today lists the newborns that still need their colostrum.
-
“Did we miss a treatment?”
Today’s doses due are listed, so a second dose doesn’t slip through.
-
“That calf drank less… did anyone check?”
A quick flag during the feed run puts it on watch, so the next person looks again.
-
“Where’s that sick calf?”
The Health board shows every flagged or under-treatment calf at a glance.
Every tick has a name and a time
-
“Who gave that dose, and when?”
Every tick is stamped with who did it and the time. No more asking around the shed.
-
“What did the last shift do?”
The next person sees what’s flagged, what’s due and what’s next. No long text, no whiteboard note.
-
“The relief milker doesn’t know our routine.”
New starters and relief staff work from the same list as everyone else, pen by pen, with the litres worked out.
Residue risk
“Is that calf still in withdrawal?”
Calves in withdrawal show as Do not sell.
The sale screen warns you before a calf in withdrawal is marked sold, so a busy afternoon doesn’t turn into a residue problem.

Built for a real shed, not an office
-
“There’s no signal in the shed.”
The Android app saves feeds, flags, calvings and jobs offline, then syncs when you’re back in range.
-
“The paper sheet got wet. Again.”
Whiteboards get wiped and sheets get lost. Records live in one place and stay there.
-
“We forgot to write the calving down.”
Log the calving on the spot, and the calf is added straight away.
Professional reports, without the spreadsheet.
Everything your team logs turns into the numbers you need for the owner, the vet and the bank.
- A monthly shed reportEmailed to you each month: calves reared, losses, growth and what the shed used.
- Growth and weaningDaily weight gain by calf, plus cohort and weaning reports.
- Deaths and causesLosses by pen, age and recorded cause, so patterns show up early.
- Drug use and spendWhat was used, how much it cost, and what’s still in withdrawal.
- Powder counted against powder loggedCount the bags and see how far the estimate is out.
- Team activity, export and printWho did what, and CSV or print any time.
Better management and control.
You don’t have to be in the shed to know how it ran.
A name on every job
Staff pick their name on the shed tablet, with an optional PIN. Casual workers don’t need an email address.
Admin and worker access
Owners and managers see reports, drugs and settings. Workers see the shed list they need.
Your data stays yours
Export your calves to CSV, print any time, and download a full farm backup from Settings.
Jobs that run themselves
Set up weighing, vaccines and moves once. They appear by pen on the day, and overdue stays visible until it’s done.
Ask Mate
Ask a question about your shed in plain words. Nothing is saved until you check and confirm it.
Web and Android
Use the website on a tablet or computer, and the Android app in the shed. No iPhone app yet.

Built in the calf shed, not a boardroom.
I’m a herd manager with a vet background. I built Calfmate for the calf shed I run at Forbes Dairy Partnership, Gloucester NSW, and we’ve used it every day since June 2026.
It’s just me. You get my mobile number and I read every reply.

Questions a sceptical farmer asks.
Will my casual staff actually use it?
They pick their name on the shed tablet, and feeding is one tap per pen. Nobody needs an email address.
What works with no signal?
On the Android app, feeds, flags, calvings, new calves, jobs and weights save on the phone and send when you’re back in range. Treatments, ear-tag scans and Mate need signal.
Is there an iPhone app?
Not yet. The website works in an iPad or iPhone browser when you have signal.
Is it vet advice?
No. It records what your team and your vet decide, and it warns you before a calf in withdrawal is sold.
Who owns my data?
You do. Export your calves to CSV or print any time, and download a full farm backup from Settings. Each farm only sees its own records.
What if I stop paying?
You get 7 days of full access, then read-only access so you can still export. Tell me if you want your farm deleted.
How is this different from Easy Dairy?
Easy Dairy runs the herd. Calfmate runs the calf shed’s day: feed order, litres, doses and jobs by pen. Use both, and import your calves from Easy Dairy.
Put the next shift on the same page.
