Stop guessing
which animals
to sell.
Drafter tracks every weight, health event, and dollar across your herd — then tells you exactly which animals to draft, and when.
Why Drafter exists
“Most beef farmers lose $200–$400 per animal every year because they can't accurately time the kill date.”
It's not a skill problem. It's a data problem. Without real-time weight tracking and projected returns per animal, even experienced farmers are flying blind on the most important decision of the season.
Without Drafter
- Draft by eye and gut feel
- Miss peak market windows
- React to problems, not prevent them
- No idea which animals underperform
With Drafter
- AI-predicted draft date per animal
- Sell alerts before market windows close
- Health flags 3–5 days before visible signs
- Live NZD return per animal daily
The outcome
- More animals drafted at peak weight
- Fewer days on feed wasted
- Less feed cost, better margins
- Farm running on data not memory
