The herd enters the record

On 26 July 2026, we began onboarding our goats to Keragita Farm Intelligence. We worked through the herd one animal at a time, checked each numbered ear tag and positioned the goat in a sling beneath the hanging scale.

The ear tag gave us a stable reference for the animal in front of us. We used that number to open its record, add the weight and keep our observations attached to the same goat.

A brown-and-white goat standing in the weighing sling — The work proceeded animal by animal inside the goat house.

Working this way gave each measurement a clear owner. Future health checks, treatments and reproduction events can return to the same record and be read alongside what we captured on this day.

The day gave us a verified starting point for the animals we handled. Earlier events will be added where we have a reliable source, and each history will become fuller as we continue recording the work.

A horned grey goat positioned in the weighing sling — Different animals, one shared method of identification and observation.

We still have to handle, weigh and observe each goat in the goat house. Farm Intelligence keeps the resulting record available to the next worker or manager who needs it.

We left the goat house with the first set of Farm Intelligence records connected to the herd in front of us.

A week after the onboarding exercise, we lost a pregnant doe to excessive bloating. The veterinarian was unable to reach the farm in time. Timely access to veterinary care remains a constant challenge for us.
