Harvest more pasture
Pasture is the cheapest and most resilient way to feed your herd. Improving pasture performance can both increase your production and lower your costs, having a transformational impact on your business.
Graze at the right time

Know how much grass you have in every paddock, every day
Daily pasture cover estimates help you understand how much cover you have in every area of your farm, so you know which paddocks to prioritise.

Consider growth & leaf emergence rates for high quality
View the leaf stage of your pasture in every paddock, and take this into consideration when planning where to graze next. Grow as much pasture as possible, without sacrificing quality.
Control your round speed, and be flexible when conditions change
Run smaller mobs, move cows more frequently, all without any additional overhead. Adapt your grazing plans to changing conditions and allocate feed dynamically.
Halter measures your pasture automatically
Halter’s machine-learning technology combines information from satellite imagery, weather data, grazing information, your own pasture walks & more to create a granular view of your farm’s pasture that’s always updating.
Achieve residuals consistently
Automatically calculate kgDM/cow
No more mental maths - Halter's break-creation tool tells you how much kgDM you're offering in every break, so you can consistently feed the right amount to match demand.
Calculate demand, and don’t leave pasture behind
Track your pre-graze covers, as well as the demand of each mob through the seasons, so you can always match cow demand to pasture allocated, and keep your residuals on track while reducing wastage.
Track residuals accurately with a photo
Simply take a photo of your break after grazing and Halter will capture the residual, so you can be confident the girls are getting as much as they need.
"Last year we really struggled to hit residuals in the first round, which led to quality issues in the second round. This year we have been able to achieve the first round residuals with Halter."
Stay in control of APC targets
Carry the right amount of pasture cover through the seasons, to balance quality & keep animals well fed
Forecast & plan for surplus
Halter's automatic pasture cover & growth rate technology helps you understand how much grass you'll have and when you'll have it.
Used with the feed wedge & budgeting tools, you can review expected APC & animal demand at every point in the season, helping you plan when to speed up your round, mow or cut silage to make the most of the surplus period.
Manage deficit periods effectively
Pop a few details into Halter's feed budgeting tool, and have a full season overview of your farm's expected supply and demand in seconds.
Identify your deficit periods, order the right amount of supplement in advance to avoid wastage or getting into a sticky spot without the feed you need for your herd.
Once you’ve set your budget, log your allocated supplement per mob daily, and track usage over time.
Plus, all the data you’ve ever dreamed of
Stay across the performance of your key pasture metrics over time, so you can identify improvements and make tweaks to your strategy as you go.

Go back in time and understand key details for every grazing you’ve planned with Halter.
Analyse feeding decisions
Review how grazing decisions impacted your herd’s behaviour & milk production, for the ultimate feedback loop.
View progress of key metrics against target
Always know how your farm is performing, relative to the targets you set for key pasture metrics like APC, pre-graze cover, post-graze residual, and leaf stage grazed.
Real farmers, real results
“Halter helped us to increase pasture utilisation by 8%, reduce lameness by 69% and achieve a $150,000 benefit.”
“Some recent modelling showed we are harvesting 22% more grass. I think it’s the most exciting thing to happen to dairy farming in my farming career.”
“Our milk production is up 35,000 kgMS. The only thing we changed was how we grazed. Same cows. Same system. Just smarter grazing.”
“We didn't think it would work with fodder beet, we used to waste 20-30% but now the cows graze it clean to the pegs.”
