The record behind the animal
Shajra Origin is the provenance system we are building — a record that ties an animal, or a defined group, to the key events of its time on the farm. It is not live yet. What follows is a preview.
See the record, not the slogan
Three sample records are wired up below so you can see the shape of what we intend to publish. They are illustrations, not records of real animals — enter a code or pick one to open it.
Sample codes: · ·
Four stages, one continuous record
Identification
An ear tag or group number applied on arrival, and carried on the register for as long as the animal is with us.
Feeding
Ration, sources and adjustment dates logged against each animal or herd group through the finishing period.
Health
Vaccinations, preventive care and veterinary treatment recorded, with withdrawal periods observed and filed.
Sale
Inspection, the agreed price basis and the collection arrangement, closing the record at the farm gate.
Commitments we can measure
These are the records the farm keeps today, whether or not a buyer ever looks them up. Shajra Origin would publish the parts that belong to the buyer.
| Commitment | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Animal identification | Cattle identified on arrival and carried on the register for the whole of their time on the farm. |
| Feed records | Fodder, grain and silage inputs logged against each animal or herd group as the ration is adjusted. |
| No growth promoters | No added growth hormones or anabolic steroids are used to promote weight gain. |
| Veterinary oversight | Scheduled vaccinations and treatment recorded, with applicable withdrawal periods observed before sale. |
| Welfare monitoring | Housing, handling and body-condition reviewed through daily observation by the farm team. |
| Clear purchase terms | The pricing basis, reservation requirement and collection arrangement confirmed before a deposit is taken. |
| Claim substantiation | We describe only what the record supports. Where a record does not exist, we say so rather than imply one. |
