Free during the 2026–27 pilot

Every barn visit, on the record.

BarnRoll is a barn-record app for FFA and agriculture students raising livestock projects, with a live dashboard and health alerts for their teachers. Students check in at the barn and log feed, health and weight in under a minute; teachers see the whole barn at a glance.

Works on any phone · English and Spanish · No app store needed

How it works

Set up a chapter in two minutes

No spreadsheets, no paper logs taped to the pen. Everything lives on the student's phone and on the teacher's dashboard.

1

The teacher creates the chapter

Pick the school and the barn. BarnRoll gives you a join code, a QR code and an invite link to share with your students.

2

Students add their animal

Photo, tag, ear notch, pen, breed and target weight. Then the feeding program: brand, product code and amount of every feed and supplement.

3

Check in at every visit

One tap per task: fed, appetite, water, eyes, manure, walking, training, bath, brushing. "Same as last time" fills in the routine.

One app, two views

Built for the barn, not for an office

For students

Your project record, done as you go

  • ✓ Check-in and check-out with the time spent at the pen
  • ✓ Feeding program with brand and product code, versioned every time it changes
  • ✓ Weigh-ins with a growth curve and average daily gain
  • ✓ Vaccines, dewormers, medications and vet visits, with withdrawal dates calculated for you
  • ✓ Show countdown and a warning if a withdrawal period runs into show day
  • ✓ "Report a problem" with a photo — your teacher is notified right away
For teachers

The whole barn on one screen

  • ● Live dashboard: animals cared for today, open problems, average daily gain
  • ● Every animal with a green / amber / red status
  • ● Email alerts the moment a student reports worms, diarrhea, a limp or an animal that won't eat
  • ● Your own checklist: hide, reorder and set the alert level of each item
  • ● Shared product catalog for the chapter, with student proposals you approve
  • ● Shows, weight windows and validation dates for the whole chapter
Alerts

Problems surface early, not at the show

BarnRoll checks every answer on the server. When something needs attention, the teacher gets one clear email and the incident stays open until it's resolved.

🐛 Worms, diarrhea, blood

Reported with a photo or flagged from the daily checklist.

🍽️ Not eating

Low appetite is usually the first sign. It raises an alert automatically.

💉 Withdrawal vs. show

A treatment whose withdrawal ends after show day is flagged in red.

📋 Follow-up

Teachers acknowledge, work and resolve each incident with notes the student can read.

Student privacy

Built for minors, from day one

Only the right people see it

A student's records are visible to that student, the teacher of the chapter they joined, and BarnRoll administrators. Nobody else — not other students, not other schools.

Private photos

Student profile photos and health photos are stored privately and shown only through short-lived links.

No ads, never sold

BarnRoll does not show ads and never sells or rents student data. It records care; decisions stay with the teacher and the veterinarian.

FAQ

Questions teachers ask

BarnRoll is free for students and teachers during the pilot. No credit card is needed.
High school agriculture and FFA students who raise a livestock project (starting with show pigs), and the ag teachers who supervise them.
The teacher creates a chapter and gets a 6-character code, a QR code and an invite link. Students enter the code or open the link. Students can also start on their own and join later without losing their records.
Only the student, the teacher of the chapter they joined, and BarnRoll administrators. Another school's teacher or another student cannot see them. Student profile photos are stored privately.
No. BarnRoll keeps records and raises alerts. Health and medication decisions belong to the teacher and the veterinarian.
Yes. The whole app works in English and Spanish, and each user picks their language.
Yes. Every tap is saved on the phone first and sent as soon as there is signal, so nothing is lost.
