Getting started
Go to the registration page to create your farm. Choose a farm address, create the owner account, and provide an email for account recovery. When approval is required, wait for the platform admin to approve the farm before signing in.

Getting started
Whether a new self-registered farm needs review depends on the platform’s current approval policy. A pending farm cannot sign in yet; automatically approved farms can sign in as soon as registration finishes. If the farm was rejected or suspended, the sign-in message explains the status; contact the platform administrator if you need a review.

Getting started
Every new farm receives a free trial with no payment required. The trial begins when the farm is activated: an automatically approved farm starts immediately, while a pending farm starts after approval. There is no Free-plan goat cap during the trial. After the trial, the current Free limit and Monthly and Annual terms are shown on the pricing page. Access requests do not automatically charge or activate a paid plan. Existing manual arrangements remain unchanged.
Search topics: trial free no payment activate activation activated auto-approved automatic pending approval cap limit goats pricing free plan annual monthly per farm
Getting started
The Free plan counts on-farm and boarded goats only. Sold, deceased, and other off-farm goats are excluded. The current Free cap is shown in your farm and on the pricing page. If a trial ends above that cap, records become read-only until the counted herd is reduced or access is manually arranged. Online payments are coming soon, so there are no automatic charges or automatic paid activation.

Getting started
An owner or admin can open Farm Settings to add the farm name and logo, choose enabled breeds, set gestation length, configure the FAMACHA threshold, and add routine health intervals. These settings shape dates, forms, and dashboard reminders for the whole farm.

Signing in
Each farm has its own address based on the slug chosen at registration, such as /your-farm/login. Start at the main sign-in page if you do not know the exact address, or enter the farm slug in the Farm field.

Signing in
Pending farms are waiting for approval, rejected farms were not approved, and suspended farms are temporarily blocked by the platform administrator. Deleted farms are removed from normal sign-in and can only be reviewed or restored by the platform administrator.

Team & roles
Owners and admins manage team accounts, farm settings, imports, and destructive changes. Farm hands can view herd records and record day-to-day events such as breedings, kiddings, weights, and health work, but cannot manage users or delete records. Everyone only sees the farm they belong to.

Team & roles
An owner or admin can open Farm Settings and choose the Users tab to create a user with a username, email, password, and role. The same screen can change a role or deactivate an account. Keep an email on each account so password recovery can work.

Goats
Open Goats and choose Add Goat to enter a record by hand. Include the name, breed, registration, lineage, and notes you have available. You can also import a spreadsheet or add a goat from a saved ADGA pedigree page, then add photos from the goat record.

Goats
Open the goat’s record from Goats and choose Edit to update its details, lineage, status, notes, or photos. Owners and admins can make changes and remove records. Farm hands can view records and record herd work; they can also add photos, but cannot edit the herd record, manage existing photos, or remove goats.

Goats
Use sex, health, herd, breeding, and lactation fields for their separate purposes. Herd status records whether a goat is on the farm, boarding, leased, sold (with or without registration), or dead. Lactation status for does is milking, dry, or kid, while breeding status tracks exposure, service, or pregnancy. Herd lists, work rosters, filters, and dashboard counts use these fields.
Search topics: status lactation milking dry exposed serviced pregnant kid retired sold dead doe buck wether filters dashboard
Imports & updates
An owner or admin can open Goats, choose More, then Import to upload a .csv, .xlsx, or .xls file. Choose a worksheet, map its columns, preview the rows, and import multiple new goat records. Spreadsheet Update is a per-goat workflow: open one existing goat, upload a spreadsheet, select one row, review the mapped changes, and apply them to that goat. It does not bulk-update multiple goat records.
Search topics: import spreadsheet csv bulk update template goats records upload existing new overwrite merge validation errors
Imports & updates
Yes. Save the ADGA pedigree page as an HTML file, then use the ADGA import option on the goat screen. Review the parsed registration and lineage fields before saving because the source page may not contain every field your farm tracks.

Breeding & kidding
Open Breedings to record the doe, service method, sire details or a semen straw, and breeding date. The form suggests an expected kidding date from the farm’s gestation setting; you can leave it blank and the calendar will use that gestation fallback. Add pregnancy tests, breeding events, and the actual kidding outcome as the season progresses.

Breeding & kidding
The Breeding Calendar displays the current month and next month side by side. Use the previous or next arrows to move that two-month window. It marks active bred or confirmed-pregnant breedings using the recorded expected date or the farm gestation fallback, skips does that have left the herd, and can export a selected due event to Google Calendar, Outlook, or an ICS file.

Breeding & kidding
Open the breeding record when the doe kids and add the actual kidding date and each kid. Record sex, name, birth weight, and notes for the most useful history. Update the breeding outcome if plans changed or the breeding did not result in a kidding.

Health
Open Herd Work Day in Reports and Tools to log vaccinations, deworming, hoof trims, FAMACHA scores, and treatments across many goats at once. Use Weight Tracking for dated weight measurements and weight trends. Farm members can correct health events; owners and admins can delete them. Changes require farm write access.

Health
Open Weight Tracking in Reports and Tools to record dated measurements for goats on the tracking roster. Managers can use Manage Roster inside Weight Tracking to choose goats to track, including when the roster is empty; past measurements are kept when a goat is removed. Choose View Trends inside Weight Tracking to open Weight Trends and compare recent changes across the herd. Values use the farm’s configured kg or lb unit.

Health
An owner or admin can set intervals for hoof trims, CD&T boosters, copper boluses, and deworming in Farm Settings. The Health Work Due dashboard widget compares the last matching event with that interval and lists goats that are due or overdue.

AI inventory
Open AI Inventory to add semen straws, record the lot and sire details, track doses and tank locations, and import or update inventory. When a breeding uses a straw, the available stock is checked and the dose is drawn from inventory. Owners and admins manage inventory.

Dashboard
On the dashboard choose Customize to show or hide widgets. Use the My dashboard tab for a personal arrangement, or—if you are a manager—the Farm default tab for the shared layout. You can reset a layout to the defaults, then choose Save layout; members can follow the farm layout or keep a personal one.
Search topics: dashboard customize widgets hide show edit layout drag resize arrange personal farm default cards
Dashboard
Check Customize first because a widget may be hidden. Health Work Due appears only after at least one routine health interval is configured. Optional widgets such as Weight Trends and Show Time can be enabled there, and a personal layout can differ from the farm default.

Reports
Reports and Tools includes a Pedigree Certificate and Health History Report for one goat, plus Lineage, Quick Glance, Barn Worksheet, Sales Log, Show Time, Show Results, and Weight Tracking tools. Open Weight Tracking and choose View Trends for the Weight Trends report. Reports read the records already in your herd; update the underlying record first when a report needs a correction.

Health
Open Reports and Tools and choose Enter Barn Worksheet Results. Select the goats and enter the completed worksheet values in the per-goat grid, then save the work; the selected tasks are recorded as health events. Use this after a paper Barn Worksheet, or use Herd Work Day when you are recording the work directly.

Reports
In Reports and Tools, a manager first creates the event in Show Time, selects goats, and prints the show roster. Then open Enter Show Results, choose that saved show, and record each goat’s judge, class or division, placement, award or ribbon, and notes. Farm hands can view saved shows and results, while managers create or edit them.

Reports
A manager records a sale from the goat’s detail page by choosing Record Sale. Enter the sale date and buyer; price, contact details, registration transfer, and notes are optional. The record moves the goat to the appropriate sold status. Open Sales Log in Reports and Tools to review, print, or export all recorded sales; managers can edit or remove a sale there.
