Works without signal
Traceability-ready
Manage tagged and untagged animals
Are Any Of These Familiar?
Farm records spread across notebooks or spreadsheets
Unsure which animals received treatments
Difficult to prepare for inspections, audits or buyer requirements
Struggling to track livestock movements between camps, farms or herds
No signal where farm work actually happens
Too busy to capture and maintain records every day
Grazing decisions made without clear camp and stocking information
Pocket Boer was built to solve these daily farming challenges with practical livestock records that work where farmers work.
Practical Traceability For Real Farms
Pocket Boer is traceability-ready from day one, but does not force farmers into an all-or-nothing approach.
Manage animals using visual tags, official traceability identifiers, RFID tags, QR tags, system-generated numbers, or herd-based records. Animals can also be managed before they are individually tagged.
As your operation develops, animals can progressively be linked to official traceability identifiers while retaining their full history.

Built with Agricultural Expertise
Pocket Boer is a proud product of Maisar (Pty) Ltd. Our roots run deep in the South African farming industry, stretching back to the days when our fathers and grandfathers tracked daily livestock records with nothing but a Volkskas boekie and a short pencil. We haven’t forgotten where we come from, and we truly understand the boots-on-the-ground challenges modern farmers face.
Livestock software should adapt to the farmer, not force the farmer to adapt to the software. Whether you are running a fully traceable operation or only beginning your digital record-keeping journey, Pocket Boer provides practical tools that grow with your farm.
Our team works directly with you, the farmers, ensuring Pocket Boer addresses genuine operational needs while maintaining enterprise-grade security and compliance standards. Together we want to build a long term solution that works with you.
