What ERPClaw does for livestock operations
Livestock operation management with herd records, breeding tracking, feed inventory, vaccination logs, weight tracking, USDA reporting, and full back-office ERP. Built for cattle, swine, dairy, sheep, and mixed operations.
Capabilities
Herd records + animal-level traceability
Per-animal records (ear-tag, RFID, or pen-level) with breed, birthdate, sire/dam lineage, weight history, vaccinations, treatments. The shared database means a feeder steer's full history follows it through every operation.
Breeding + calving records
Breeding events, expected due dates, calving outcomes, weaning weights. Auto-generated reminders for pregnancy checks, vaccination windows, and weaning dates.
Feed inventory with cost-per-pound
Bulk feed inventory with FIFO costing, ration formulation, and feed-conversion-ratio tracking per pen or per animal. The AI agent computes feed cost per pound of gain.
Vaccination + treatment compliance
Per-animal vaccination logs, treatment records with withdrawal-time tracking, and herd-level compliance reporting. Withdrawal-time alerts before sale or harvest.
USDA + state reporting
Common USDA report formats (mandatory inventory reports for certain operations, premise ID tracking, brand-inspection logs in brand states). Self-hosted means your operation data stays on your hardware.
Frequently asked questions
How does ERPClaw compare to CattleMax or Performance Beef?
CattleMax and Performance Beef are mature livestock-specific platforms with deeper field-data-collection and equipment integrations. ERPClaw covers herd records, breeding, vaccinations, feed inventory, USDA reporting, and the full back-office ERP (accounting, payroll, equipment depreciation). For operations that want one system end-to-end with AI-native architecture and $0 forever cost, ERPClaw is the AI-native option.
Does ERPClaw support RFID + EID tag readers?
ERPClaw stores RFID and visual tag IDs and supports CSV import from common tag readers. Direct hardware integration is added based on operation demand. For a 500-head feedlot with weekly weigh-ins, the CSV-import workflow is fast enough.
What about commodity hedging and grain marketing?
ERPClaw's foundation accounting handles forward contract recording, commodity inventory, and basis tracking. Deep grain-marketing analytics (DTN-style decision support) are not in scope today; we recommend pairing with a dedicated grain-marketing tool if that is a primary need.
Is the agriculture module free too?
Yes. agricultureclaw is part of ERPClaw's open-source build. All modules including the 36 livestock-specific actions are GPL v3 and $0 forever. Self-hosted on your hardware or a small VPS.
