About LAMB

A presentation of LAMB for sheep farmers.

What is LAMB?

LAMB is a flock management system built specifically for sheep farming. It replaces the notebook, the spreadsheet and the loose slips of paper with one place where your whole flock lives — every animal, every lambing, every weighing — available in your web browser and as an Android app you can take with you into the barn or out to the field.

LAMB is built and operated by lambehf and grew out of daily work with sheep farmers in Iceland. Today it runs regionally, with a dedicated site for each country: Iceland, Denmark, and soon France.

Features

  • Animal records & pedigree — every animal with its ear tag, name, birth date, gender, breeding status, parents and offspring. Lambings link each lamb to its ewe and ram, so the pedigree of your flock builds itself.
  • Birth registration — made for lambing time, when the workload is heavy: registrations are quick, effortless and accurate.
  • Weighing — scan, weigh and record in one motion, and follow each animal's growth through the season. In Iceland, weights go directly to Fjárvís.
  • Sorting, counting & groups — create groups during round-ups and sorting, add animals by scanning, and act on the whole group at once.
  • Mating registration — record matings when speed and accuracy matter, and see mating info on the animal's record.
  • Ear tags & EID readers — connect a reader (Gallagher, Tru-Test, Dyrfinna/H20-AS and others) over Bluetooth and identify an animal the moment you scan its tag. Reserve ear-tag numbers straight from the app.
  • Animal search — look up any animal by number or ear tag, or scan it, and see everything recorded about it in one place.
  • DNA results & judgement scores (Iceland) — DNA parentage results and conformation judgements alongside the rest of the animal's record.
  • Fjárvís sync (Iceland) — your flock data flows to and from Fjárvís, so you don't keep two systems by hand.
  • Dashboard — an overview of your farm the moment you sign in.
  • Community — chat with other farmers, and in Iceland a classifieds marketplace for buying and selling.
  • Help & tutorials — step-by-step guides and video tutorials for every major feature.

Why choose LAMB?

  • Built for sheep, not adapted to them. LAMB is designed around ewes, rams, lambings, ear tags and seasonal weighing — the work you actually do — not a generic livestock tool with sheep bolted on.
  • Everything in one place. Animals, births, weights, matings, DNA and judgements are linked together, so the full history of any animal — and of your whole flock — is a few taps away, this year and years from now.
  • Works where you work. Use the Android app in the lambing pen or at the weighing crate, and the web version at the kitchen table. It's the same data everywhere.
  • Works with poor signal. The app keeps a local copy of your flock on the phone: you can look animals up in the barn or on the mountain, and registrations are saved on the phone first and synced when you're back online.
  • Faster work in the pen. With a connected EID reader, an animal is identified the moment you scan its tag — no squinting at dirty tags, no typing mistakes.
  • Better breeding decisions. With pedigrees, weight history, DNA results and judgement scores side by side, you can see which ewes rear the fastest-growing lambs and choose replacements with confidence.
  • No double bookkeeping. In Iceland, LAMB syncs with Fjárvís — register once in the pen and it ends up in the national system. A connection to Denmark's CHR registry is planned.
  • Your data stays yours — and stays in your country. Each country runs on its own infrastructure, and each farm sees only its own animals.
  • Adapted to each country. Language, translations and integrations follow the country you farm in.
  • Simple pricing. One flat annual fee with everything included — app, web access and support. In Iceland: 24,900 kr + VAT per year, with a free trial to start. For other countries, contact lambehf.
  • Easy to learn. Tutorial videos and step-by-step guides for every major feature, and a support widget right inside the site.
  • Direct, personal support. LAMB is run by a small team that works closely with farmers — questions and suggestions go straight to the people building it.
