Your animals leave. Their record shouldn’t.
Register once, and the tag, the weights and the history stay with the animal — through every pair of hands, right through to processing. You find out what happened to them instead of losing sight at the gate.
Free for farmers. No herd changes, no new tag, no commitment to sell.
An independent standard for the chain it serves, modelled on Bonsucro and FSC.
The part of the story that usually goes missing.
You know what left your place. What you rarely find out is how they did after that — which lines finished well, which sire’s calves got to weight fastest, what they graded. That information exists. It just never comes back.
One record per animal
Built on the tag it already has — NAIT here, NLIS in Australia. Not a second system to keep, and the official records stay exactly where they are.
Growth rates
Upload once from your EID reader or a CSV. Dated liveweights that stay with the animal instead of living on a sheet somewhere — so how it grew is on the record. Carrying that curve unbroken through every owner and every stage of its life is what we’re building.
How each sire’s calves did
Rear and finish them yourself and you can already see it. Across a change of hands, that’s what we’re building next.
Three steps. Most farms register in under fifteen minutes.

Enrol your mob
One upload from any EID reader enrols the whole mob. Stay on the monthly cadence and the record stays complete — that’s what a claim is built from at processing.
FAQ.
I don’t rear or finish dairy beef right now. Should I still register?
Yes — that’s exactly who this is for. The chain only works if buyers can see what’s possible, not just what’s already happening. A registration from a farm that could switch is just as useful as one from someone already doing it. No commitment.
What about the price?
KaiProva doesn’t set the price you receive — that’s between you, your processor and the buyer. What KaiProva does is keep a record the rest of the chain can rely on, so what your animals actually did is visible rather than assumed. We don’t promise a premium, and we’d be wary of anyone who did.
I’m a dairy farmer. Where do I fit in?
You are the origin. Every dairy-origin calf without a committed beef pathway can enter this system, and the record starts with you — the tag, the sire, the date. That’s the part of an animal’s history nobody else can supply.
If you also rear or finish, you register the animal directly via your KaiProva property. If your dairy company is part of the pathway, your animals flow into it through them — talk to us about the dairy-companies pathway.
What does 10–18 months on grass actually mean in practice?
It means finishing young beef on grass — not mature beef. The animal reaches processing spec between about ten and eighteen months of age, between 250 and 450 kg liveweight. That’s the LCA window AgResearch modelled and what the verified low-carbon claim rests on.
What does it cost to register?
Nothing, and that’s not a trial. Farmers don’t pay to register or to use KaiProva. The platform is funded further down the chain, by the businesses that get commercial value from the record — a small fee per kilogram when an animal is processed. You’ll always be able to see what that is, and it only ever gets cheaper as more of the chain comes in. We think the people who benefit commercially should pay for the infrastructure, not the people doing the work on the ground.
Do I have to commit to supplying anything?
No. Registering puts your animals on the map. You only supply once you’ve signed a contract — and you only sign a contract if the terms work for you.
What data leaves my farm?
Your data stays yours. We never sell farm data — not to anyone, not ever. When information does need to travel — a grower seeing the weights of animals arriving on their place, a processor closing the record at kill — it travels because you said yes, only the specific fields needed, and every access is logged where you can see it. You can withdraw permission at any time.
