Resign from
manual drafting.
SmartSort drafts cows automatically using the EID tag they’re already wearing, or the heat and health alerts from your SmartTags.
Every cow where she needs to be. No searching. No chasing.
Imagine if cows needing insemination, treatment or checks were already sorted into the right pen. SmartSort makes it happen, saving time and labour without disrupting the rest of the herd.
As each cow walks through, SmartSort identifies her and sends her where she needs to go. It’s easy to install, fully automatic and works with your herd management system. That means accurate, low-stress drafting and a safer yard, with nobody stepping into the race to swing a gate.

Automatic sorting made simple
Two ways to draft.
Start with EID.
SmartSort reads the EID tag every cow already wears. Choose the cows you need and the gate drafts them for you. No collars needed.
Add SmartTags later.
SmartSort drafts cows automatically based on heat and health alerts, so you don’t even need to pick them.
How SmartSort helps you draft cows more accurately and efficiently.
You'll find a full list of benefits in our SmartSort brochure.
Integrates with your EID tags
Works with the EID tags your cows already wear, managed through Nedap Now. Add SmartTags when you’re ready.
Smarter, data-driven drafting
Strong cow identification ensures the right cows are drafted every time, even in high-flow pasture systems or busy rotary sheds.
Better heat detection
SmartSort drafts cows for insemination based on heat alerts from your SmartTags, helping you catch heats on time, improve conception rates and reduce empty days.
Smooth cow flow
Cows move naturally through the drafting area without bunching or hesitation, maintaining calm flow and faster exit times.
High-capacity drafting
SmartSort keeps up with big herds, sorting up to 1,000 cows per hour without slowing the shed down.
Less labour, fewer disruptions
No more fetching cows or searching paddocks. SmartSort drafts cows that need checking, AI or treatment, saving your team time every day.
“It is really easy to understand and follow – even team members who are not very digital find it easy – and for any young ones it’s just intuitive.”

“One of the neat things about the SmartSort is the ability for cows to go through it continuously. So it’s an uninterrupted cow flow.”
