    Better to have the bull number saved in an xl sheet, then copy and paste

    The main thing Agfood needs, and this would absolutely make the likes of herdwatch obsolete, would to make an app. Everything is on apps these days, it's so out of date in that respect. At the very least make a mobile friendly website that doesn't involve awkward zooming in.

    In terms of design overhaul, there are so many different ways to simplify things. Users should be allowed to customise their home menus to suit the schemes and systems they are in. Far too many links and sections that are irrelevant to people. There are also far too many old scheme links that seem to stay on the interface for some reason.

    It would be so easy if they bothered their hole to outsource a project like this to someone with app development experience but knowing the department it'll be a long stupid drawn out process and it won't work the way we want it to in the end.

    Possibly. But I wouldn't like to hold the bulls to schedule like that since it's not their fault just a website.

    SMN I reckon you need a bottle of whiskey too. I used to register all the calves with the one bull together, then move on to the second bull to register his calves.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I have HerdWatch and you cant do BISS or any other DAFM schemes on HerdWatch you need to use AgFood. You can do animal movements etc on HerdWatch.

    It's a bit of a scam in this country and one the European Commission should be looking at if the governments online service is being made deliberately opaque to give a commercial company the edge in doing essential online work for farmers.

    The whole idea of pushing farmers online was to make things easier not make money for a favoured business.

    I use MyGovId to log in, much handier and if you need to back track or leave the page you're on, you don't have to go through the login process again.

    I did the survey, but it doesn't really capture the overhaul that's needed. I usually don't venture much onto agfood up till a couple of weeks ago after seeing this thread. It is woeful. I've spent time going through it and wrote up a report with observations/issues I'd seen/stupid things they do/etc and mailed it off to them as well.
