"I am very confident Stephen is the right person to lead Herdwatch into the next phase and wish him the very best of luck," Peyaud said.

According to Herdwatch, over 20,000 farmers use its software across Ireland, the UK and the US, as well as hundreds of veterinary professionals following the company's recent acquisitions and investments in Comtag and VetDrive.
The company won the Champion Award at the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena at the 2025 National Ploughing Championships.
The award came after the agri-tech company unveiled Herdi, which it described as the world’s first context-aware AI farm assistant aimed at livestock farmers.
