Capture weights and health records right in the yard, track abattoir and lot performance against cattle lot target and projections, and run dispatch-to-settlement sales the way abattoirs actually pay you. No spreadsheet archaeology required.

Why KuddeSoft

Built around how a feedlot actually runs

Most livestock software is a generic ledger with animal columns bolted on. KuddeSoft is built for real lot management and cattle lottering. The specific realities of running a South African feedlot: a full weight lifecycle from arrival to dispatch, multiple staff roles, and numbers that need to survive an audit.

01

To measure is to know

Every kilogram delivered, refused or left in the bunk is logged against the pen and the ration. That turns into ADG, FCR and cost-of-gain insights you can act on today, not a spreadsheet you reconstruct at closeout.

02

Lot performance, live

Open the Feedlot Overview dashboard and see where every lot stands right now: intake, days on feed, projected close date, current cost of gain. Not last month's report-back.

03

Problems surface before you do

Feed intake off target, a cold-stress weather warning, a pull rate creeping past normal. KuddeSoft raises it as an alert instead of waiting for you to spot it buried in a table.

04

Know exactly where to improve

Bunk scores, pull rates, manure scores and mortality rates are captured as data, not gut feel, so you can see precisely which pen, ration or supplier is dragging performance down.

05

Production and profitability, together

Better feed conversion and fewer surprises at closeout compound. Customers on KuddeSoft see production climb and cost of gain fall in the same cycle, not one at the expense of the other.

06

Abattoir-ready, on demand

Vaccination records, withdrawal periods and treatment history are logged per animal from day one. Hand an abattoir a compliant report in seconds, individually or by batch, no digging through paper files.

07

Compare suppliers and breeds

Performance is tracked back to where cattle came from, so you can see which supplier or breed actually delivers on ADG, FCR and cost of gain, and buy accordingly next time.

How it works

From the yard to the settlement statement

  1. 01

    Capture in the yard

    Weigh-ins, feed logs, health treatments and daily lot checks, recorded on a phone or tablet, right in the pen.

  2. 02

    Track automatically

    Every entry feeds straight into the same cost and FCR engine. Herd metrics update from real feed and scale data, not guesswork.

  3. 03

    Manage the lot with confidence

    See scale-basis ADG/FCR where you have the coverage to trust it, and a clearly-flagged actual-basis estimate where you don't.

  4. 04

    Dispatch, settle, get paid

    Stage cattle onto a load, freeze the cost snapshot, and settle straight from the abattoir's settlement sheet: cold-carcass pricing, VAT included.

Feedlot overview

Everything a feedlot operation needs, in one place

One feedlot overview covering herds, sales, feed performance, rations, stock and financials. No tab-hopping between spreadsheets to see how the operation is actually doing.

Feedlot Overview

Herd-wide KPIs at a glance: head on feed, average weight, ADG, FCR and cost of gain, plus weight-progression and feed-delivered trend charts and a per-lot table underneath.

Sales & Settlement

Stage cattle onto a load, freeze the cost snapshot, then settle straight from the abattoir's settlement sheet (never a pre-guessed price), with sale-readiness signals before you commit a lot.

Feed Performance

Intake tracked against target with a weather overlay (wind, rain and a plain wet-coat cold-stress flag), plus a Model Confidence check on how well the feed-driven forecast is tracking mid-cycle.

Rations & Stock

Ration recipes are versioned like code: tweak a formulation for winter or a new supplier, and the change rolls forward from that point on, while every lot already fed keeps its original cost and dry-matter numbers untouched. Each recipe is checked live against raw-material stock on hand, so a ration you can't fully cover shows up on screen before the mixer wagon finds out the hard way.

Health & Quarantine

Treatments, vaccinations and withdrawal periods tied to a shared regulated-products registry. Hospital pens are tracked as real lots with their own cost and feed accounting, kept out of standard performance rankings.

Feed & Inventory

Daily feed entry (single, lot, batch or bulk) drives the cost and FCR engine, with medicine stock and days-of-cover forecasting so reordering happens before the yard runs short.

Financial Overview

Total investment, revenue, profit and a monthly cost/revenue trend, broken down by cattle, feed, health, overhead and other, including the farm-wide overhead rate, not just per-lot costs.

Reporting & Calibration

Exportable, audit-ready tables for every domain, plus a mid-cycle Calibration check and a full Closeout Review after dispatch, comparing the feed-driven forecast against real scale weights and carcass data.
