FarmBot is a product of Naremburn-based business the tech is developed by farmers for farmers.

Reproduction Monitoring

Success for any cattle business is heavily dependent upon production quality and efficiencies. We believe these are gained through a robust fertility program and sustainable farm practices to ensure cost, time and land impacts are minimised proportionate to production.
