- Ranch profileName your operation, set your mission, manage cash on hand, and export your data — the ranch settings panel.
Herd
- HerdTrack every cow, bull, heifer, and calf with tags, BCS, breeding status, and pasture notes — the foundation of every ranch decision.
- BreedingPlan exposure, AI, confirmation, and projected due dates so your calving season runs on rails instead of guesswork.
- CalvesTrack each calf in your herd from birth weight, sire, and dam through weaning weight and sale-ready milestones.
- HealthA clean medical record for every animal: vaccinations, treatments, dosages, and withdrawal flags so nothing ships too early.
- SalesEvery animal queued for the trailer with target weight, target price, buyer line, and ready date — your marketing on one page.
- MarketingSeasonal price patterns and a clean record of every sale so you market animals when prices are kindest, not when they aren't.
Land & water
- Land & grazingMap your paddocks, log grazing moves, and watch rest days climb — intentional rotation that builds healthier pasture year over year.
- SoilLog soil tests, track organic matter, and watch forage yield rise — proof that the land is healing under your care.
- WaterTrack wells, ponds, tanks, and creeks with capacity, level, and low-water warnings so cattle never run dry in summer.
- HayCount bales, project days of feed, and build the drought reserve that keeps your herd fed through a hard winter.
- WeatherLog every rainfall event and watch year-to-date totals so you spot drought patterns before they bite your pasture.
- Drought planPre-decided trigger points and destocking actions so the hard calls happen calmly, not under pressure when it isn't raining.
Operations
- EquipmentEvery tractor, truck, trailer, and implement with status and service notes — so nothing breaks down on a rainy Sunday.
- InfrastructureFences, gates, corrals, and barns with condition tracking and a running repair punch list for the small fixes.
- InventoryMineral, medicine, feed, fuel, and supply counts with reorder thresholds so the truck is never empty when you need it.
- ContactsVet, buyer, feed store, neighbor, and hand — everyone you call from the truck, all in one place with notes and phone numbers.
Money & records
