HerdMASTER
The worlds most capable herd management software

HerdMASTER 4 is the culmination of 30 years of research and development by ABRI in conjunction with Farmers, breed societies and industry worldwide.

The top name in herd management and perfomance recording software, HerdMASTER is used by producers in over 30 countries and by members of more than 137 breed societies.

Developed using the latest tools, HerdMASTER 4 utilises web service technology to deliver regular updates, help, how-to guides and online services such as online cloud backup and direct integration to the NLIS database and BREEDPLAN program.

Tight society and BREEDPLAN integration, as well as the ability to import/export data from almost any device or software, place HerdMASTER 4 at the cutting edge of technology in livestock recording and reporting.

4 versions of HerdMASTER 4 are available:

Commercial: For commercial operations where breeding and pedigree are not recorded.

Small Stock: For small stock such as sheep/goats/alpacas etc.

Stud: For stud cattle operations, has all the features of commercial and much more.

Free: For stud cattle businesses who only want to record and submit data to their society and BREEDPLAN. Some functions of the full stud version are removed.
