Why this exists

Built on a small block, for small blocks.

PaddockMateIQ started on our alpaca block near Lockyer Waters, on the morning our young cria Charlotte went down and the nearest vet was hours away.

We wanted one place that knew every animal's history, kept us on top of the jobs that keep them healthy, and could help us think straight when something went wrong. So we built it.

Made by an alpaca owner in the Lockyer Valley, for people who love their animals and want to do right by them.

What it does

Three jobs, done properly.

No farm-management jargon. No 40-item menus. Just the things that keep animals healthy and paperwork sorted.

Every animal's history

Log a drench, vaccine or vet visit in seconds. Everything lands on that animal's record.

  • Withholding periods worked out for you
  • Weights, photos, notes and births
  • Vet-ready history and PDF exports

Reminders that know your animals

Drenching, vaccinations, shearing, hoof trims, farrier, teeth — set up for the species you keep.

  • One "Today" list of what's due
  • Email or SMS nudges
  • Tick it off and the record's done

Help when something's wrong

Describe what you're seeing or snap a photo. The AI knows that animal's history and gives calm, practical next steps.

  • Tells you how urgent it is
  • Tells you when to call the vet
  • Emergency help is always free
The real thing

Made for one hand, in the paddock.

Big buttons, plain words, and it works on patchy signal. These are real screens from our own block.

The AI reads that animal's records first, so its advice fits her — not a textbook.

Who it's for

A few animals or a few hundred.

Fair questions

Is the AI a replacement for my vet?

No. It gives calm, practical first steps, helps you work out how urgent something is and tells you when to call the vet. It knows your animals' records, so its advice fits them — but diagnosis and treatment are your vet's job.

What does it cost?

Free for up to 25 animals, with 15 AI questions and 3 photo checks a month. Plus is $9.95 a month (or $99 a year) for unlimited animals, AI help and photo checks, with a 30-day free trial. Emergency help is always free.

Does it work without signal?

It installs to your phone's home screen and the main screens work with patchy signal. Records you make out in the paddock sync when you're back in range.

Do I need a PIC or NLIS to use it?

No. Plenty of people use it for a few horses, dogs and chooks. If you do run cattle, sheep, goats or pigs, it keeps your PIC, treatment register, withholding periods and movements ready for when you need them.

Where is my data stored?

On Australian-hosted servers. You can export everything to a spreadsheet or PDF any time. Your data is yours.

Can my family use it too?

Yes. Invite family or helpers to your property so everyone sees the same animals, records and reminders.

Your animals, sorted.

Add your first animal in under two minutes. Free, no card.
