Gone are the days of juggling spreadsheets to plan pasture supply and demand.

You can now generate an annual feed budget with Halter in minutes. Calculate pasture supply vs demand, supplement requirements, and APC targets based on your farm’s unique situation.

Everything is customisable, so you can test scenarios, change cow numbers, or change your pasture growth curve to suit the season.

More grass, increased production, less guesswork.

How does it work?

  • Start your budget anytime. Pick a month to begin (e.g. June), and Halter will build a 12-month budget based on your farm’s data.
  • Visualise your APC projection. See where your pasture cover is heading, and whether you’ll hit your target by balance date, dry-off, or pre-calving.
  • Customise to fit your farm. Use the default values or update them to match your terrain, cow liveweight, growth curve, and more.
  • See pasture supply vs demand. Track when feed surpluses or deficits are likely to happen. Adjust cow numbers, utilisation, or add supplements and crops to plug any gaps.
  • Tweak week by week. Drill into your plan by month or by 7-day increments to reflect weather, calving, or grazing changes.

Feed Budgeting is available now for Halter farmers on the Unlimited plan. No downloads, no spreadsheets. Just smart planning that helps you get the most out of every hectare.
