## What is Grading Grounds?

Grading Grounds — Livestock Records & Carcass Grading

Grading Grounds is a purpose-built app for 4-H members, FFA participants, and ranchers who want sharp livestock records paired with a real understanding of carcass grading. Whether you raise cattle, sheep, swine, or goats, it turns your project into an organized, science-backed record — and it works fully offline, with no account required.

Keep Complete Animal Records
Track name, species, sex, birthdate, sale/slaughter dates, ear tag (with camera barcode scanning), and location (with GPS capture). Duplicate a record to add similar animals in seconds.

Track Growth and Health
Log weigh-ins on a clean trendline chart with total-gain stats, and keep vaccination and vet-visit records in one place.

Learn and Apply Carcass Science
Estimate dressing percentage, carcass weight, retail yield, and primal breakdowns. Work through USDA beef and lamb yield-grade calculators, backed by a Learn tab covering grading, record keeping, and the history of 4-H and FFA.

Run the Numbers
Add categorized expenses and sale proceeds to instantly see net profit/loss, ROI, break-even, and a per-category cost breakdown for your project.
Share Professional Documents
Generate per-animal PDF reports, a 4-H/FFA market livestock Bill of Sale, and QR-code record summaries.

US & EU Support in Five Languages
Choose US or EU region and your language — English, French, German, Spanish, or Italian — with full UI translation. Units (lb/in or kg/cm), currency, VAT wording, and date order adjust automatically. EU mode adds SEUROP grading references, an EU traceability Bill of Sale (movement record citing Reg (EC) 1760/2000, with EID/passport/CPH fields), GDPR privacy content, and EU young-farmer resources in the Learn tab.

Grounded in Science. Raised for Success.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2026-07-11

What's new in version 2.0.0

This update brings powerful new tools to help you learn faster, feed smarter, and hit your show-day goals.

Test Your Skills with the New Grading Quiz
Put your carcass-grading knowledge to the test with an interactive quiz in the Learn tab. Practice USDA grading concepts at your own pace and build confidence before the judging contest.

Feed Logging with Cost & Conversion
Track every feeding right on each animal's page. Grading Grounds now calculates your feed cost and feed-conversion ratio automatically, so you can see exactly how efficiently your animal is gaining.

Target Weight Planner
Set a goal weight and date, then let the app track your progress against a daily-gain plan. Know if you're on pace, ahead, or behind — and adjust early instead of scrambling on weigh-in day.

Visual Primal Cut Charts
Explore new cut charts for cattle, sheep, swine, and goats in the Tools tab, featuring refined animal silhouettes and vintage-style engravings that make it easy to see where retail cuts come from.

Plus, fully localized in English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian.
