Russell Hudson, founder of Mind the Farm

"Every morning started the same way — trying to remember what I forgot yesterday."

Between feeding rounds, vet calls, and keeping track of who was due for what, the mental load of running a small farm was heavier than the physical work. I tried apps built for big operations, but they wanted me to fill out forms longer than my to-do list. So I built something that lets me talk to my records the way I talk about my animals — by name, in plain English.

Mind the Farm started on our homestead in South Carolina, where we raise Great Pyrenees, goats, and poultry. It was built to solve one problem: keeping everything about every animal in one place, without making record-keeping feel like a second job.

Litters, waitlists & breeding

Russell Hudson, founder of Mind the Farm

"I used to keep everything in a notebook."

Vaccination dates. Who was bred to who. When the farrier was last out. I had three spiral notebooks, a whiteboard in the barn, and a dozen sticky notes on the fridge. I still forgot things.

Now I just open my phone and say, "When is Daisy due?" or "Log a deworming for all the goats." It already knows my herd. It already knows what's coming up. I just talk to it.

REAL FARMERS, REAL FARMS

What farmers are saying

★★★★★

"I run 47 Boer goats on 80 acres in central Texas. Kidding season used to mean a notebook full of scribbles I could barely read. Now I just tell it 'Daisy kidded twins this morning' and everything gets logged — dam, sire, birth weights, the lot. Saved me real time when the vet needed records."

Marcus T.

Boer goat operation · Llano County, TX

★★★★★

"I have 8 Great Pyrenees in my breeding program and the puppy waitlist feature alone is worth it. Buyers can put down deposits online, I track vaccination schedules for every pup, and when someone asks for health records I pull them up on my phone right there in the barn."

Sarah K.

Great Pyrenees breeder · Wilkes County, NC

★★★★★

"We manage a flock of 200 layers and 15 head of Angus cattle on our homestead. Rotational grazing used to be guesswork — now I track paddock moves and rest days in the app. I typed 'vaccinate all the goats today' and it logged every single one. That's the kind of simple that actually works."

FAQ

Questions & answers

What can I track in Mind the Farm? +
Mind the Farm is a complete farm management software. Track breeding records, hatches, individual animal profiles, animal health records, vaccinations, livestock sales, invoices, and farm expenses — all in one place. We support poultry, goats, cattle, sheep, swine, llamas, alpacas, camels, dogs, and pets.
Is there a free trial? +
Yes! Every plan comes with a 7-day free trial — no credit card required. Plans start at $49/year. See pricing
Can I invite family members or helpers? +
Yes! Invite team members by email from the Team page. Choose their role (editor or viewer) and they'll share your livestock records and farm data. Great for family farms and homesteads where multiple people help manage the herd.
Can I track animal weight and pasture rotations? +
Yes! Our livestock weight tracker lets you record weight entries for cattle, goats, sheep, swine, llamas, alpacas, camels, and dogs — each with interactive growth charts. The pasture management section lets you plan rotational grazing, move animals between paddocks, schedule rotations, and view full grazing history.
Do I need to install anything? +
No — Mind the Farm is a cloud-based farm management app that works in your browser on any device. Just create an account and sign in. Native mobile apps for iPhone and Android with offline support are coming soon.
How do I get started? +
Sign up for a 7-day free trial and start your livestock record keeping immediately. Add your breeds and animals, set up coops or pens, and the farm management dashboard guides the rest. Most small farm owners are tracking their herd within 10 minutes.
Is this better than a spreadsheet for livestock tracking? +
Yes. A spreadsheet doesn't send breeding reminders, track pedigrees, generate invoices, or let you log a vaccination by typing "vaccinate all the goats today." Mind the Farm is a purpose-built livestock management app that handles everything a spreadsheet can't — automatic gestation tracking, health record timelines, task reminders, and Stripe payment collection.
Can I manage puppy waitlists and collect deposits? +
Yes — Mind the Farm includes puppy waitlist management software with online deposit collection via Stripe. Create planned litters, let buyers join the waitlist, manage multi-installment payment plans, and send automated notifications when puppies are born. Buyers get their own portal to view status and sign contracts.
How does Mind the Farm compare to FarmKeep? +
Mind the Farm includes features FarmKeep doesn't offer: an AI chat interface for natural language record keeping, Stripe invoicing and payment collection, puppy waitlist management with deposits, embeddable animal listings for your website, and buyer contracts with e-signatures. Both support livestock health records and breeding tracking, but Mind the Farm is built specifically for breeders and homesteaders who sell animals.
How much does Mind the Farm cost? +
Plans start at $49/year (Hobby, up to 50 animals) with a 7-day free trial on all plans. No credit card required to start. The Ranch plan ($249/year) includes unlimited animals, breeder tools, advanced analytics, and priority phone support. See full pricing
