We have some exciting news to share with you all!

 

We have teamed up with Rugby Farmers Mart (RFM – The Midlands Mart) to bring you an exciting new feature. You can now add animals for sale directly to Rugby market, view upcoming catalogues for sales and browse what’s coming up – all for free with your Herdwatch account.
Animal details pull through directly from your account, so all you need to do is select the ones you want to sell & add photos and videos. You can add in lot number & sale date too – opening up your buyer pool before the go through the ring.

Mart Manager, Tom Wrench, explains how "RFM are excited to announce an exciting collaboration with Herdwatch. Marketing of Stock at the point of Sale is something that we at RFM believe needs to constantly evolve in order to keep, one of the oldest forms of Sales, the live ring System, relevant." He continues by saying "the Herdwatch Platform will allow Vendors to select, and pre-air the details of Stock they have to Market in advance of the Sale date. Information such as Age, TB Status and Medications can allow buyers to travel to Purchase Stock with full disclosure. The forward thinking system of a  CRM is something that can only be of great assistance in management to Buyers and Sellers and we hope to expand our use of Herdwatch within the Market.
