Herdy keeps them — arrivals and departures per Bestösser, reconciled, within the three working days. Along with accompanying documents, the treatment, feed and pasture journals, and the Alpabrechnung. For Alpkorporationen, Alpgenossenschaften and Bürgergemeinden.

The report is not the paperwork behind the subsidy. Since 2024, the report is the subsidy.
Subsidy rates per the Direktzahlungsverordnung (DZV), Federal Office for Agriculture; range for sheep alps of roughly 30 to 150 Normalstösse. Reporting deadlines per the Swiss animal movement database ordinance. Last verified on 6 August 2026.
Record one Bestösser's animals as a group — or carry it over from last year.
Your alp is stored as a location, with its TVD number. Set up once, there again every year.
Herdy shows you what is going out before it goes out: which animals, which farm, which date.
Departure and arrival reports go to the TVD as one batch. The confirmations come back, animal by animal.
You keep your list by farm, not by animal. So does Herdy. For each Bestösser you see how many animals were announced, how many arrived and which are missing — with their ear tag numbers. The reconciliation is done before the deadline runs, not three weeks later at the kitchen table.
An alp is not a farm with a herd — an alp is a season with paperwork. Herdy keeps it as a season: everything belonging to this summer stays together and is still there in October.
There is no two-sided reconciliation between the alp and the home farm today — it is not built. Your lists, your accompanying documents and your Abrechnung still work in full, whatever your Bestösser use.
The TVD has deactivated the arrival report for goats at the interface. For goats you continue to report the arrival in Agate. Everything else goes through Herdy.
On the alp you often have no coverage. Herdy needs a connection to record. The work this page is about — reports, accompanying documents, Abrechnung — you do where there is a signal anyway.
You grant access per person, with permissions. When the herder changes, the access changes — the alp's data stays with the alp.
Tell us briefly how large the alp is and how many Bestösser you have. You get a quote you can put on the table at the meeting.
We reply within two working days. No credit card, no subscription click — you receive a quote on paper or as a PDF.
Give us a call. You speak to the person who builds Herdy — not to a hotline.
