About this app

My Block Hand is the farm hand in your pocket for lifestyle blocks and small farms. Animals, paddocks, grazing, breeding, jobs, reminders, eggs and money — all in one simple app, so nothing slips your mind and every decision is backed by your own records

Built on a working lifestyle block in New Zealand and shaped by real small-farm use, it's made for people who farm before work, after work and on weekends — not for corporate agribusiness

Wherever you farm: paddock rest days follow your hemisphere's seasons, money shows in your currency, and reminders arrive on your clock

YOUR ANIMALS, PROPERLY RECORDED
Sheep, cattle, goats, pigs, horses, alpacas, poultry and more — plus your cats and dogs. Full treatment history per animal: drenching, vaccinations, shearing, hoof care and more, with next-due reminders

Photos, identity and passport details on every record

Exit records — when an animal is sold, culled, dies or goes missing, its full story stays in your history

BREEDING, PEDIGREES AND STUD RECORDS
Record matings by date, or as an "exposed" range when the ram or boar runs with the mob — the app works out the expected-birth window

Add an observed mating for a precise most-likely due date, with species-correct gestation and milestone timelines

Record a birth straight from a mating: each young becomes its own animal, linked to both parents, with sex, birth weight

Build an editable pedigree up to three generations — type in ancestors even if they are not in your herd

Print or save as PDF a branded pedigree, or a full animal record, to hand to buyers

Registered name, stud book, DNA results and registration numbers on every animal

PADDOCKS AND GRAZING
Rotational grazing with rest-period tracking, so you know when a paddock is ready

Graze one mob across several paddocks, or strip-graze with a break counter and rest shown as a date range

Draw your own farm map — paddocks, zones

Withholding-period warnings before you move stock onto a treated paddock

POULTRY AND PRODUCTION
Log today's eggs in two taps, track flocks by sex and age in weeks
Incubation batches with candling and hatch-day reminders — chickens, ducks and more

Meat, milk and wool production totals, including home-kill and works records

PETS
Cats and dogs alongside your stock: treatments, registrations and reminders

Heat tracking with an adjustable cycle reminder, plus breeding and due dates for a home-bred litter

JOBS, REMINDERS AND YOUR WEEK
Jobs and seasonal tasks that surface when they're due, with notifications

"This week on your block" — everything due in the next 7 days on one card

RAIN GUAGE
Log the morning reading and watch the pattern build

LIVESTOCK COMPLIANCE — NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA
NAIT deadlines and movement records built in for New Zealand cattle and deer

NLIS support for Australia — cattle, sheep and goats, with PIC, NLIS ID and movement/NVD records

Run both at once if you farm in NZ and also register stock for the Australian market

Farming somewhere else? These sections stay hidden unless you turn them on.

MONEY AND FEED
Income and expenses tied to your animals and records — sales can post the income for you

Feed store: track purchases, bags on hand, price per bag and 4-week feed spend, with low-feed warnings

MADE FOR REAL FARM LIFE
Works offline in the paddock — everything syncs when you're back in coverage

One account on phone, tablet and computer

Share your farm with your household — two logins, one set of records

Turn tools on or off so your dashboard shows only what you use

Your data is yours: one-tap Excel export, full backups you can restore, and complete account and data deletion if you leave

Free to use — set up your farm and log animals, paddocks, breeding, jobs, reminders and money at no cost. No tiers, no lock-in.

Start your farm records today — your records, your block, one place.

What’s new

Breeding, start to finish. Record a mating, then record the birth straight from it — each lamb or calf becomes its own animal, linked to both parents. Build a pedigree three generations deep and print it for buyers.

My Block Hand now works outside New Zealand too: paddock rest days follow your hemisphere's seasons, money shows in your currency, and reminders arrive on your clock.

Plus fixes to birth, weaning and lifetime records, ready for lambing.
