Every goat record, one app, actually free to start
Breeding, kidding, health, milk, weights, shows, finances, pedigrees, and a marketplace — replacing the notebook, three spreadsheets, and the sticky note on the barn door.
Free for small herds · Works offline · No download needed
One profile, every record
Each goat carries her whole story — and every record links to the others.
Profiles & identification
Photos, registration numbers, tattoos, microchips, pens, and groups — with barn names and registered names both supported.
Breeding to kidding
Due dates from breed-specific gestation, pasture exposure windows, planned breedings with COI checks, and kidding records that create kid profiles automatically.
Health that keeps you legal
Vaccinations, deworming, FAMACHA, treatment plans — and milk & meat withdrawal tracking on every medication, per goat.
Production records
Daily milk logs, DHIA tests, lactation curves, weights with ADG, fiber harvests, and carcass yields — whatever your operation produces.
The parts most goat apps skip
Recording data is table stakes. These are the reasons breeders switch.
Real genetics tools
Inbreeding coefficients, linebreeding analysis, ADGA data import, and relatedness views — breeding decisions with math behind them.
A built-in marketplace
Public farm pages and sale listings connect your records to actual buyers — the only goat app with one.
Real multi-user access
Team members with roles — not one shared password — so the farm sitter sees care tasks without seeing finances.
Reports & AI import
Printable health histories, kidding reports, and breeding plans out; your existing spreadsheets and documents in, read by AI so you don't retype your herd.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about goat record keeping.
Is Herd Manager actually free?
Yes — free for up to 10 goats with every feature: breeding, health, milk, weights, shows, finances, and pedigrees. No credit card, no trial clock. Larger herds upgrade to the Unlimited plan; see current pricing on the home page.
Do I have to download anything?
No. Herd Manager runs in your browser on any device and works offline once loaded — phone in the barn, laptop at the desk, same records. There's also an Android app on Google Play if you prefer.
Can I import my existing records?
Yes. The AI-powered import reads your spreadsheets and documents and turns them into goat profiles and records, so switching doesn't mean retyping your herd's history.
Does it work for mixed operations?
Yes — dairy, meat, fiber, and pack goats all in one herd. Each purpose brings its own tools (milk tests, carcass yields, fiber harvests, trip logs) and every goat gets the same core records.
