I like the the fact that there are very little files to store, and everything is in your hand.
This year has been very difficult but with lots of vets visits, but my vet emailed me all treatments what makes it easier to put the information into herdwatch.
I also like the mob part of herdwatch, as I can always tell where livestock are, or have been.
Not to mention lots of other stuff you can do like put feed purchased in to the system.
