Ranch Manager

Detailed Livestock Records

Ranch Manager software provides characteristics such as breed, gender, sire, dam, birth date, birth weight, birth ease and more. Keep detailed notes and save pictures of each animal in your herd. Enter multiple ID tags for tracking purposes. Enter events that happen to the animal throughout its lifetime. Provide standard purebred information such as registration number and trait information (EPDs).

ID Tracking for Livestock

Multiple ID tags such as brisket, metal, plastic, government registration, tattoo and brand. Since the BSE crisis affecting cattle operations has occurred, government regulations have been levied requiring ranchers to place government issued IDs in their animals and track transactions involving animals. Ranch Manager comes with an easy- to-use interface, allowing you to conform to the industry standards. Country of origin and Premise ID is also recorded.

Pasture and Location Management

Move your animals from one location to another and track there location history. Manage bull exposure and make informed breeding decisions with automatic inbreed detection. Sketch out maps of any portion of your property and link them to animal holding areas. With the move of the mouse you can visually see which animals were in a location at a given time. Multiple views, make it easy for you to get the information you need about where your animals are located, and where they were located.

Track Livestock Events and Actions

Add notes, record breeding, AI and Embryo Transplants, track animal deaths, sales, purchases, move cattle, record pregnancy test results, apply treatments, weights and record scores. Use the custom event to record events and actions that are specific for your needs.

Track Due Dates

Ranch Manager will track the expected calving due dates for your cattle, whether you pasture breed, AI or use Embryos Ranch Manager. The cattle program tracks estimated beginning and ending dates for each cow's calving season based on the days the animal was exposed to one or more sires in the same location. Estimated due dates are calculated when the breeding date is recorded (such as with AI and Embryos).  When a cow calves, Ranch Manager calculates the expected sire based on breeding information provided.

Feed Management

Apply feeding plans to your locations and track the amount of food consumed by each animal. Ranch Manager will calculate the cost and amount of feed consumed by animals in the location where feed is applied, saving you a lot of math and providing valuable information.

Keep Detailed Notes

Record notes on almost every type of record that can be recorded in Ranch Manager. From Animals, to Locations, to Owners and Contacts. An easy to use and common interface is used throughout the software to minimize the amount of time required to be productive.

Multiple Views of your Herd

With Ranch Manager viewing your herd could never be easier. Your herd is separated into major categories such as Calf Crop, Herd Dams, Herd Sires, Animal Sales and Unmanaged Animals. Each view gives the opportunity to view the animals in a list with various characteristics displayed, or use the pedigree and offspring views to discover an animal’s family tree. Drill into the set of offspring the animal is responsible for (including grandchildren, and beyond). Search for an animal or specific set of animals based on IDs and/or characteristics.

Event Tracker

Any event that can happen to an animal you can track. Specific events supported include: animal sale, animal treatment (vaccinations, etc), artificial insemination/breeding, birth, and death. A custom event is available for you to enter any custom event information. Events automatically show up in the Rancher’s Calendar so you can easily keep a history of your operation. Enter a single event that affects multiple animals with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface.
