Every figure, every animal, every decision.
Seedstock production runs on data. From birth recording to BREEDPLAN submission to catalogue day, KoolSoftware puts accurate, individual animal information where you need it.

Seedstock data doesn't manage itself
Every animal you sell carries your reputation. The figures have to be right, from the EBV to the pedigree to the birth date, or the trust you've built with clients erodes. Most operations piece it together across multiple systems, with data entry happening twice.
Birth recording under pressure
Calving season is relentless. Paper records and notebooks mean data entry happens later, if it happens at all. By the time it's in the system, detail is lost.
Pedigree errors that compound
A sire incorrectly assigned at joining carries forward into EBVs, sale catalogues, and buyer records. One mistake becomes many before anyone catches it.
Data spread across tools
Yards data in one place, BREEDPLAN in another, photographs on a phone, catalogue prep in a spreadsheet. Pulling it together for sale season is a job in itself.
Buyers expect more
Commercial producers are getting more sophisticated. They want to see individual records, trait data, and progeny performance, not just a paper catalogue.
Sapien's program, KoolCollect, allows us to save time, especially when dealing with lots of animals. It also allows us to turn data into information in a much more efficient manner.

Build the genetic picture, one record at a time
KoolSoftware is built around a single principle: the animal is the unit. Every observation, every measurement, every breeding decision is recorded against the individual, so you always know what an animal looks like, who is in its pedigree, and what the figures say.
Individual animal records
Every animal in your herd has a card. Birth date, sire, dam, EBVs, weights, observations, treatments, movements, all in one place, all accessible in the paddock, the yards or the office.
Pedigree and joining management
Record natural joins, AI programs, and ET procedures. Assign sires and syndicates to mobs. Verify parentage at birth. Build confident pedigrees that hold up under scrutiny.
Breed society integration
KoolPerform interfaces directly with BREEDPLAN and Helical for EBV and WBV data submission. Trait data collected in the yards flows through without manual re-entry or format conversion.
Yards-ready data collection
KoolCollect works with RFID readers and electronic scales in the crush. Weights, scores, traits, and treatments are captured against the animal's ID in real time, no paper, no transcription.
Paddock records on the phone
KoolStock puts individual animal data on your phone in the paddock. Match cow-calf pairs, record birth traits at calving, check EBVs, review pedigrees, without going back to the office.
Online catalogues for buyers
KoolView presents your animals as individual web pages with full trait data, EBVs, photos, and video. Share with buyers before the sale. Give clients the information they need to buy with confidence.
One system across the whole breeding cycle
Data captured today feeds the EBVs, sale catalogues, and buyer relationships of tomorrow. KoolSoftware connects the moments that matter.
Joining
Record natural joins, AI programs, and ET procedures. Assign sires or syndicates to mobs. Set joining dates so BREEDPLAN gets the right gestation data.
Calving
Record births in the paddock with KoolStock. Capture birth weight, presentation, calving ease, and dam ID. Assign tags. Build the record from day one.
Performance recording
Weaning, yearling, 18-month weights and scores captured at the crush with KoolCollect. Data submitted to BREEDPLAN for genetic evaluation.
Sale preparation
Build sale worklists in KoolPerform. Publish animals to KoolView for online catalogue access. Give buyers individual animal pages with EBVs, photos, and video ahead of sale day.
At RV Pastoral integrity in our data means integrity in our outcomes. Sapien helps us capture, access and act on information early, driving genetic gain, improved performance & profit, which flows through to our clients.

Record births at the cow's side, not the office desk
At calving, every minute matters. KoolStock puts individual animal records on your phone so you can capture what you see, when you see it, without notebooks, without later transcription, without detail forgotten.
- Record birth weight, presentation, calving ease, and dam-calf match in the paddock
- Check a cow's history, EBVs, and pedigree before making a management call
- Set alerts for animals needing attention during joining and calving
- Chemical purchase records flow through to treatment compliance
- Data syncs back to KoolCollect via SapienCloud, no double entry
The KoolStock mobile phone app has been an absolute gamechanger for me when it comes to recording calves and keeping track of cows during calving. I absolutely love it and would never go back to recording this sort of data using a notebook and pen.

Your catalogue. Your animals. Your page.
KoolView generates an instant online catalogue from your KoolPerform data. Email one link and buyers land in a webpage that shows only your animals, not a shared marketplace where they're two clicks from a competitor's listing.
And because KoolView pulls live from KoolSoftware, the page stays current automatically. When BREEDPLAN updates your EBVs, the catalogue updates with them. The link you sent in September still shows the right figures in November, no re-sending, no updated PDFs, no version confusion.
- Instant catalogue built from a KoolPerform worklist, no separate build process
- Individual animal pages with EBVs, weights, traits, photographs, and video
- EBV updates from BREEDPLAN flow through automatically, buyers always see current figures
- Buyers stay in your environment, not a shared marketplace alongside competing studs
- One link works on any device, before and on sale day
AI and ET recording that keeps pace with your program
When you're running multiple AI or ET rounds across a season, the joining records are the foundation of every EBV downstream. KoolCollect handles the complexity, multiple sires, syndicate changes, round dates, so pedigrees stay accurate.
Joining types
- Natural join, sire and syndicate recorded against mob and date range
- AI, individual sire recorded against each female at time of insemination
- ET, donor dam, recipient dam, and sire all tracked through to calf record
Syndicate management
Set up sire syndicates for natural joining rounds. Change syndicate composition between rounds without losing historical records. BREEDPLAN receives the right joining data to calculate accurate parentage probabilities.
Preg testing integration
Record pregnancy status, foetal age, sire probability, and condition scores at preg testing. Confirm anticipated birth dates. Identify non-pregnant females early. Preg data flows directly into performance records.
