    You can still use in on your phone, you just need to change over to landscape mode to use rather than portrait mode.

    It's a pain to do but it's usable, as usable as being on a laptop.

    Yes that is the Livestock Live website, its handy for looking up prices for cattle. It mostly based on Carnaross Mart, you can follow the trade on mart day. I have used the website but I havent used the app.

    I seen a someone with what I think was this app today in the Mart. He was able to look up all the cattle lots, the breed, age and number of movements of the cattle. I looked up the LSL app and from what I can tell its free.
    Whats the catch???

    I just downloaded it last night and transferred files from Ag food. The ol lad would have a better chance using an app then using the Ag food website. I'd imagine they will start charging once the downloads go up. Haven't tested out yet but seems easy to use.

    Anyone know if its possible to view Gortalea in kerry? What do you have to do to see it via on the livestock Live website?

    Private company yes. App looks to be add supported so who knows if it will remain free or end up subscription but you can bet they intend on making money.

    It's a help but ultimately agfood itself should be mobile friendly..farmers shouldn't have to pay especially beef/suckler men.the returns are bad enough as it is

    Agfood should have a mobile app irrespective of your livestock enterprise. I wonder if there is an agreement with commercial providers to restrict Agfood from providing the basics - calf registrations and livestock movements.

    No I'd say that's just the public service in general slow to move and very inefficient in general.

    I think it must be?

    I must do it later this month for an account I'm closing and transferring all the DD and other payments in and out of it to a different account.

    Edit: Ah right, not on Agfood but it can be done by contacting the Dept for an update of account details:o

    We had to change bank accounts a few years ago and we had to write them a letter with the new bank account details.
