Mustering that makes sense for extensive operations

Extensive pastoralists are famous for their musters where large herds of multiple stocktypes are brought into the yards for processing and counting. Bulls, breeding stock and young stock are all drafted and counted. Culling decisions are made on the spot with trucks ready to cart away sale animals or weaners for processing.

It is a big operation, and the Sapien paddock book is designed to capture these numbers in the way the animals are handled. No virtual paddocks, no making multiple complicated paddock moves for every stock type. Enter the counts on a “count out” page and the Sapien paddock book handles the rest and even summarises the whole mustering operation on single page so you can sanity check the counts before committing the updates.

Mustered In

Record mustering of a single or multiple paddocks. Set the starting counts to reconcile against. Shows the counts of each stock type that was in the paddock prior to the muster

Type change

Track calves being weaned, heifers and breeders being culled. The system tracks counts of your active breeding herd and those culls and non breeding stock destined for sale

Returned

Capture the head counts of animals returning to the paddocks ready for the next muster.

Branded

Track reproduction rates with new brandings. Track calves who are returned with mothers and cleanskin weaners.

Departed

Trucking animals for Sale or transfer to another property (or even trucking to another part of your property). Record head counts moving around your business, with despatch notices containing NVDs, carrier details automatically sent to the receiving property

Lost Found

Reconcile the muster to see if there are abnormal losses or missing animals left in the paddock. Build your knowledge of mustering efficiency or see where fences have let animals through

Smarter Inventory with Stocktypes

Inventory value goes beyond headcount.

Animals are grouped by sex, age, and breeding status, automatically progressing to the next Stocktype on their “farm birthday.” This ensures your data reflects real-time value—without manual updates.
