I know some folks, especially those with registered animals, have much more extensive records, but this seems to work for me. I also save this to the cloud (I use OneDrive), so it's accessible from my laptop or phone. I'm afraid I don't always enter all the information into this column that I should, but at least it's there. One page for general pasture history, such as when I first started using it, when I mowed or sprayed, worked cattle, etc. If I sell a cow her page gets moved into the file for that year, after entering the date and amount of the sale.ģ. I also have a folder for 'Sold Cows', with a file for each year. When I move an animal, I move their page to the appropriate file. After entering that information in the sheet from 1 above I copy and paste each row to this chart. For cows I have a chart below that listing her calving history. Next is a space for miscellaneous informaion. There is also a row for the animal's location, with a new row added each time it's moved. It has tag number, sire, dam, birth date, breed, and, if it was bought, date and cost. Each year I make a copy of the previous year's sheet, change the sheet name to the current year, delete everything about the last calf except calving date, move that information into the 'last year calving date' column, and it's ready to enter the calving information for the current year.Ģ. The last column really isn't necessary, but then I can tell at a glance how each cow calved in relation to the year before. One page for each year with a row for each cow in the pasture, with columns for her tag number, calving date, calf's sex, calf's sire, calf's tag number, date sold or weaned, weight, price per pound, total sale price, and calving date last year. I set it up with a separate file for each pasture, and each file contains:ġ. It simplifies record keeping and any device that you can access Internet you have your records. Again I'm not an expert and have no affiliation but its worth 100 bucks a year.

i found her with a new one I pulled out my phone snapped a pic added calf to her while back in the pasture. It then gives you alerts when she is due. I make notes when I see cows bulling after another cycle and no bulling I go back in and plug in date she was bred. It's pretty daunting getting everything in but once it's their its simple. I selected one of her calves and this is her DATA. Here is her data all her calves her post partum as so forth. I selected this cow 16 and this is how I have her info listed. The following pics are just a fraction of what it can do and I'm sure others can add to this. No searching, no calculator, no guessing. It gives you a statiscal picture of your animals. After I got a few done and selected that animal to evaluate I was sold on the product. I tried CM last year I imputed a few cows and all info on them their calves, sale prices, the whole history I had on them. I used paper and excel for several years and it served it purpose.
