01
Open the map and mark a paddock.
Go to the Map screen, move to the paddock you want to set up first, then tap Mark paddock.
First useful setup
Start with one real mob.
Grazer becomes useful once it knows where a mob is, where it might go next, and what weight gain you expect. This walkthrough shows the shortest path to that first useful moment.
02
Click around the boundary.
Add points around the paddock. The exact boundary can be adjusted later, so start with something close enough to use.
03
Save the paddock.
Use the tick to save, then give the paddock a name and an estimated daily weight gain. That gain can feed the mob forecast later.
04
Add a mob to that paddock.
Tap the paddock's name, then choose Add mob. This is the quickest way to tell Grazer where those cattle are starting.
05
Enter the mob details.
Add a mob name, class, head count, average weight and paddock. Leave the gain override blank if you want the mob to use the paddock gain.
06
Check the mob appears on the map.
Once the mob is saved, the marker shows the mob head count inside the paddock. Now Grazer has a real starting point.
07
Plan the next paddock move.
Open Planner, go to Moves, then press and hold the mob bar to add the next move. Adjust the move length to suit your plan.
08
Move the date forward.
Use the date slider to look ahead. The mob location and weight forecast update as the plan moves through time.
09
Test a trade.
Open Markets, use the Trade Calculator, and compare a sale weight and price against a replacement option. The calculator will show matching sale candidates when mobs reach the target weight.
What to look for
The first moment should feel practical.
After those first steps, you should be able to answer useful questions without going back to a notebook or spreadsheet.
Where are they now?
See the mob on the property map with the paddocks around it.
Where are they going?
Use planned moves to see the next paddock and the dates around it.
What might they weigh?
Move the calendar forward and check projected mob weights.
Does the trade stack up?
Compare sale value and replacement options on the same basis.
Need a hand?
Feedback is always welcome and help is always available.
