The growth of the Internet has brought a new option for farmers. CattleController is an entirely Internet-based system. The first of its kind, it has all the features expected of a cattle records programme: Herd Register, Movement Book, Medicine Book and facilities for ending movement details and passport applications to the BCMS by email. In addition there are features that could only work on the web: to help you keep track of your stock ages, CattleController will check your herd for you twice a week. If any cattle have reached any of the "Critical Ages" you set up when you register, you'll automatically be sent a reminder by email.

The programme and records are all stored by CattleController and are protected from accidental user error with automatic backups made throughout the day. Instead of buying a CD and installing it yourself on your computer, you simply visit the website, log in and start getting your records under control.

Walter Burrough, son of a Devon cattle farmer, developed the service after working in the property and IT industry said "Keeping cattle records has become so complex now that without a computer it's just too easy to make a mistake that will cost you money. By using the latest Internet technology, farmers can computerise their cattle records without having to worry about how the computer works. It could not be more simple."

You can try an online demonstration of CattleController at www.CattleController.com without even typing your name. Your first month is FREE when you register. With off the peg programmes costing in excess of £300, CattleController is unbelievable value for money at just £10+vat per month.
