Keeping track of your animals’ temperatures is a great way to catch problems early. The Farm Jenny app makes it easy to capture and record temperatures for each of your animals. You can also download and share your animals’ temperature log with a barn owner, boarding client, or veterinarian.
Using a Bluetooth Thermometer

Start a Reading

Select Your Thermometer

Take the Reading
Take your animal's temperature. The Bluetooth thermometer will automatically start a new reading and the in-progress readings will be displayed in the app. Wait for the thermometer to signal that the reading is complete before removing the thermometer.

When the thermometer beeps and the app says "Temperature reading complete", you may remove the thermometer. Confirm the value in the app matches what is shown on the Thermometer itself and press SAVE.
