One yard.
Every flow.
FlowYard runs the daily work of a feedlot in one app: bunk calls, feed, the mill, cattle, health, pens, machines, safety and the environment . It's on the phone in the pen, and the office sees it as it happens.
Example figures for illustration.
The products
Each job has its own Flow
Every person signs in to FlowYard and lands on the Today board, then opens only the products their job needs. A miller sees the mill. A pen rider sees the cattle. The manager sees everything.

A day at the yard in FlowYard
The crew records the work as they do it, on their phones. The rest of the yard sees it straight away.
-
Pre-starts before the engines run
Each operator types their name and ticks through the checklist for their machine. Anything faulty goes straight to FixFlow.
PlantFlow · FixFlow -
Mill stock and grain in
Silos, bays and liquid tanks are counted. Grain deliveries are logged with their sample results.
MillFlow -
Bunk calls and feed out
The bunk caller scores each pen. FlowYard works out the call, and the feed sheet goes to the mixers and delivery trucks.
BunkFlow -
Pen riding and health
Pulls, treatments and hospital pens are recorded. Withholding periods follow the pen all the way to trucking.
HerdFlow · HealthFlow -
Speak up about safety
Anyone can report a hazard, near miss or incident in a minute, with a photo. A manager follows it until it is fixed.
SafeFlow -
Heat watch, pens and water
Panting scores on hot days. Pens are cleaned, water troughs checked lane by lane, and ponds and the rain gauge recorded.

Why FlowYard
Made in a working feedlot
Built by a feedlot manager
FlowYard was built by a licensed agricultural engineer who runs feeding and milling at a commercial feedlot. It follows how a yard really works.
Set up for your yard
Your pens, lanes, paddocks, silos, bays, tanks, machines and work times, with your own names for them. All set in one place, BrainFlow.
The right access for each person
Staff open only their products. Managers see everything. View-only accounts can look without changing a thing.
Phones first
Big buttons and short forms for gloves, dust and early starts. It works on any phone, tablet or office computer.
Every record has a name and a time
Each entry shows who made it and when, so nothing is lost between shifts.
Your data stays yours
Each feedlot has its own private FlowYard with its own web address. Your records are never shared with another yard.
