Te Pari and FarmIQ Integration: Making Livestock Data management easier

Managing livestock data just got a whole lot easier for New Zealand’s sheep and beef farmers, thanks to a powerful new integration between Te Pari’s Macrostock Scale System and FarmIQ. This seamless, cloud-based connection is already transforming how farmers like Alistair Bird of The Grange in Oxford, Canterbury, track and manage animal performance on-farm — without the hassle of double entry or manual uploads.

One System, Seamless Sync

The new integration links Te Pari’s Macrostock Scale System directly with FarmIQ, allowing real-time data transfer straight from the yards to the cloud. No Bluetooth. No Wi-Fi. No fuss. As long as you’re using the Performance Plus or Pro Pack, your weigh session data and events such as scanning, condition scores and treatments are automatically synced to FarmIQ the moment you finish. 

This means that by the time you’ve boiled the jug and sat down at your computer, your animal performance data is already waiting for you on your FarmIQ dashboard — ready to be used for decisions that matter.

Built for the Way Farmers Work

Most farmers are visual learners — and the Macrostock Scale System gets that. With intuitive visuals, simple navigation, and easy-to-read graphs and pages, the system makes it easier than ever to collect and understand key livestock metrics like weight gain, mob tracking, and individual animal performance.

Take Alistair Bird, for example. He recently used the Macrostock Scale System to weigh Angus calves ahead of weaning. “We just want to get a weight on them, see how they’re tracking for weight gain and growth rates,” says Bird. “It gives us some good data to help us sell the calves at weaning — we can tell the agents exactly what they’re weighing, the mob numbers, and the sex as well.”

Smarter Data, Better Decisions

Thanks to the integration with FarmIQ, Bird’s data was automatically uploaded to the platform and linked to the relevant mobs. From there, he could easily see which animals were hitting their weight targets — and which weren’t.

“If there’s some animals in your weight classes that aren’t growing as much as they should be, like we just identified a few here today, we can pull them out, talk to the vet if we need to,” says Bird. “It’s easy to collect data, but it’s harder to find a system that makes it easy to use — and that’s what this system does.”

Macrostock: More Than Just Weighing

Te Pari’s Macrostock Scale System isn’t just about weights — it’s a full-featured livestock management solution. From trait and treatment recording to lifetime history, EID tracking, and mob management, it keeps your entire operation connected and your data clean. Whether you’re weaning calves, drafting lambs, or tracking treatment outcomes — the Te Pari Macrostock System delivers the insights you need, where and when you need them.

With the new integration, the system becomes even more powerful — syncing everything directly with FarmIQ, so you’re always working off the latest data and you can see your whole farm business data together in FarmIQ. No spreadsheets, no USB transfers, no headaches.

The Bottom Line? This integration is built for farmers who want to spend less time doing data entry and more time making confident decisions in the yards and on the farm. 

Hard yards handled. Decisions made easier. That’s the future of livestock management.
