Young farmers turned app designers from Wick High School, UK, have seen a farm management application they created themselves launched on the market, BBC reported.

John, Keiran and Ryan came up with the idea because they knew first-hand how hard it is for farmers to keep tabs on their cows’ health records.

The “Cattle Manager” app will help users track and manage livestock information.

The Wick pupils won two out of seven prizes in a student competition for apps to solve real problems.

The other team from Wick High who attended the official launch in London, run by “Apps for Good”, were Caitlin, Beth, Rebekah and Jeri, who designed an app to help dog owners care better for their pets.

The winners have had their apps built professionally and the finished items are now available on app stores.

Our team of School Reporters at Wick High School have been researching modern farming methods and animal rights issues.

We think the cattle farming app, designed by students at our school, shows that young farmers are deeply concerned with animal welfare and making sure their cattle are reared in a healthy, happy way.
