On lowland pasture you can count your animals from the gate. On open hill, moor and common land — where much of the UK's sheep farming actually happens — knowing where your stock is becomes hours of quad bike and guesswork, and when grazing is shared between multiple rights-holders, the record-keeping is a job in itself.
What Flockarewe does
Flockarewe is the group's livestock platform, live at flockarewe.com. Farmers see their animals on a map, keep a digital flock register, and get alerts when something needs attention — an animal outside its expected area, a tracker gone quiet, a gather coming up. A companion mobile app brings the same view to the hill, with field tools for tagging and checking animals where they stand.
Built for commons, not just fields
What makes Flockarewe unusual is its support for shared grazing. Commons and shared hills involve multiple graziers, stints and rights — and the platform manages that governance layer: who grazes what, in what numbers, with records that associations and agri-environment schemes can actually use. It is livestock tech designed around how upland farming is really organised.
Why it sits in the group
Rural connectivity, low-power tracking hardware, long-life sensors — livestock tracking is the same engineering problem Take 2 solves for site security and IoT monitoring, pointed at the hill. The group supplies the trackers, the connectivity and the platform together, which is exactly what makes remote-area deployments workable.
Farmers, commons associations and rural organisations can see the platform at flockarewe.com, or contact sales@take2technology.com to talk about pilots.
