Measure what
matters.
Breed for profit.

Moorella Farming trades cattle and sheep, manages genetics, and builds the precision livestock platforms used by producers across Australia and the United States. Indexes calibrated to producer economics — not breed-society politics.

About

A working farm with an engineering bench.

Moorella Farming Pty Ltd is a commercial mixed cattle and sheep enterprise based at Clear Creek, Byawatha, in north-east Victoria. We run an Angus-based composite cattle herd, the Catalyst shedding sheep flock — unshorn for sixteen years — and trade stock through the eastern Australian markets.

What sets us apart is what happens after the gate shuts. We have spent the last decade building the data infrastructure, the genetic analysis tools, and the decision-support platforms that turn raw on-farm measurement into profit-grade decisions. Everything we publish is field-tested first on our own country, with our own livestock, against our own balance sheet.

We don't write software for farmers. We're farmers who write software.

The Data Engine

Decisions are only as good as the numbers behind them.

Moorella Farming runs a privately-held livestock dataset built up over more than a decade of measurement, recording and integration. We use it to fuel live indexing systems that combine genomics, phenotypes, epigenetics and AI — feeding precision livestock management at the paddock level.

What we do

Three pillars.
One operating discipline.

Trading, management and genetic systems are the same problem viewed at three time horizons — this week's market, this season's cashflow, this generation's progress. We treat them that way.

01 / Trading

Cattle & sheep trading

Active commercial trading across cattle and sheep classes — run on agistment, leases and sharefarming arrangements rather than owned country. Buy, background, finish and turn off, with margin discipline grounded in livestock trading account principles, DSE rating and real cost-of-production maths.

02 / Management

Livestock management

Cornell STAR accelerated lambing on the Catalyst flock. Composite cattle breeding, rotational grazing, stocking-rate calibration and forward feed budgeting. Operational systems we run ourselves before we hand them to anyone else.

03 / Indexes

Genetic management systems

Building live, profit-based indexes from the integration of genomics, phenotypes, epigenetics and AI. The output is a working decision tool — sort, rank, select, mate — calibrated to producer economics, not breed-society politics.

Platforms

The software stack we wrote.

Moorella Farming designed, engineered and ships every platform below. They are the productised versions of tools we built for our own operation — released to commercial producers across Australia and the United States.

US · Beef & Crop

Ranch Manager OS

The North American counterpart, built for US beef ranching and crop production. Localised for AUM, $/cwt, Schedule F, USDA reporting and the realities of running country in Texas, Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas.

Pasture & Animal

PaddockOS

Combines EID, genomic data, pasture monitoring and carcase feedback into one paddock-level platform. Per-animal pages, ration calculators built on SCA 2007 equations, and integration with Zoetis Inherit Select.

Genetics

MGT Platform

Dynamic Index Engine. Drag-and-drop a P&L, get back a profit-calibrated ranking of your catalogue tailored to your enterprise economics — with a Bid Advisor strategy layer for sale-day decisions.

Nutrition

RationsOS

Animal nutrition and rations engine for cattle and sheep classes — built on SCA 2007 maintenance and production energy equations, with practical ingredient libraries and feed-costing built in.

Embedded across platforms
Drought Tool · Free

TargetOS

A standalone, free drought-feeding tool for Australian producers. SCA 2007 energy maths under the bonnet, a warm AI advisor on top — built for people making hard decisions with hungry stock and short feed.

Free for producers
Licensing

Direct, or under your own name.

Moorella Farming releases its software two ways. Direct to producers under our own brands — Farm OS, Ranch Manager OS, PaddockOS, MGT Platform — and under licence to companies that need a livestock-data product released under their own name.

Licensed deployments are billed on a royalty model against subscription revenue. We build, you brand — and the underlying engineering, data discipline and ongoing development sit with the team that wrote it.

Path 01

Direct

Released under Moorella Farming brands, sold direct to producers.

Path 02

White-labelled

Released under your brand. Royalty against subscription revenue.
