Flockarewe: Livestock Tracking, Digital Flock Registers and Commons Grazing Done Properly

Most livestock technology is built for lowland farms with mains power, mobile signal and stock you can see from the yard. UK hill farming is none of those things — which is exactly the environment Flockarewe was designed for. Here is a proper walk-through of what the platform does and how it works day to day. Last updated: July 2026. The live map: know where the flock is before you set off Trackers on your animals report position over low-power networks built for remote terrain — the same rural-connectivity engineering behind our solar CCTV and IoT sensor deployments. The result is a live map of your stock across hill, moor or common: where they are grazing, where they have drifted, and where that one ewe has got herself this time. The practical difference is planning gathers and checks from the kitchen table. Instead of quartering the whole hill, you ride to where the animals actually are — farmers consistently report saving hours per week in fuel and quad time. A flock register that keeps itself Every animal lives in a digital register: tag numbers, breed, age, medical history, movements and status. Records are updated from the field through the companion mobile app — including a BLE field tool for identifying and checking animals where they stand — so the register reflects reality rather than what someone remembered to write down in the evening. When inspection time comes, or when you are claiming under an agri-environment scheme, the paperwork exists already. Alerts that respect your time Flockarewe is deliberately quiet until something needs you: Out-of-area alerts — an animal leaves its expected grazing area (a broken wall, an open gate, straying onto a road) Inactivity alerts — a tracker that should be moving has gone still Tracker health — batteries running down, devices gone silent Gathering support — where the flock is concentrated before a gather Each alert carries location, so the response is "go here", not "go looking". The commons layer: what makes Flockarewe different Plenty of tools can put a dot on a map. What no other UK platform handles is shared grazing governance — and for commons, shared hills and stinted pastures, that is the harder half of the job. Flockarewe manages the structure of a shared grazing: which graziers hold which rights, stint numbers and headage, who is turning out what and when, with records the commons association can stand behind at the AGM and show to Natural England. For commons associations, that replaces the ring binder and the disputed recollections. For individual graziers, it means your numbers are your numbers — recorded, dated and visible. What a deployment looks like A typical starter setup is trackers on a representative portion of the flock (hefted groups mean you rarely need one per animal), the mobile app for everyone who works the stock, and the register imported from whatever you keep now — spreadsheet, movement book or memory. Coverage options depend on the ground; that is a conversation we have per site, the same way we survey for rural camera deployments. Flockarewe is live at flockarewe.com. As the group's rural-technology arm, we supply the trackers, the connectivity and the platform together — talk to our team about a pilot on your ground.
