## What is Herd Advisor?

Heifer 47 calved at dawn. You're standing in the mud with gloves on, both hands busy. You say: "Hey Siri, cattle record." Done. No clipboard. No box top.

Here's the rest of that morning. The calf needed a pull, so you speak the calving record right there — ease score, dam, all of it. Two pens over, a few steers look snotty, so you say "Treated tags 708, 711, 710 with Baytril" and the app logs all three, withdrawal dates included. You're at the far end of the place with no signal — doesn't matter. Herd Advisor works offline and syncs on its own when you're back in range. By lunch you're at the kitchen table, and every record from the morning is sitting on a Records for Review screen. You glance over it, confirm it, and it's saved for good. 

That's the whole idea: records get made where the work happens, not transcribed off a notebook three weeks later.

What it keeps track of:
- 13 record types by voice: calving, treatments, weights, sales, movements, deaths, and more
- Calving with ease scoring, expected calving dates, and pregnancy confirmation
- Weaning and weight records with growth tracking; dam and sire parentage
- Treatments with medications, vaccines, and withdrawal tracking
- Sale records with pricing, death records, custom groups, photo attachments
- Batch operations: bulk treatments, weaning, pasture moves, status changes
- Unlimited animals, unlimited pastures (status, rotation, reminders), unlimited farms with cross-farm views
- CSV import and export, plus a full activity log
- Team access — workers and family share one subscription

If you want market help too, the Complete plan adds the Cattle Market Guide: price forecasts built from 250+ livestock auctions.

Built by a lifelong rancher who got tired of record apps that weren't made for the way the work actually goes.

Cattle Record Guide is $14/mo. Herd Advisor Complete (records plus market guide) is $18/mo. Try either free for 14 days — long enough to run it through a real stretch of calving season and see if it earns its keep.

### 5/5 — Efficiency

*2026-08-18*

Your whole herd in yer hand !!!

### 5/5 — What we needed

*2026-07-20*

Had another system but it was not user friendly and most folks on the ranch did not like the complexity. 
Herd Advisor is easy to use, especially out in the pasture. Though we have only had it for a short time, we are well pleased with the product. Herd Advisor is very practical for our Cow/calf operation.

### 5/5 — Herd Advisor to the Rescue!

*2026-07-17*

Herd Advisor is an outstanding tool for the toolbox.  Easy to use and the Siri voice enabling is a game changer whether in the pasture or office!  Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Great app

Super easy and complete!  Even works offline!

### 5/5 — Herd Advisor is a great app!

*2026-07-02*

It’s incredibly easy to use, and everything I need is in one complete place. The voice feature is awesome and makes keeping records so much faster and more convenient. It has really simplified managing my herd. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, complete, and reliable livestock management app!

### 5/5 — Best Cattle Record, Easy, Consistent

*2026-07-01*

Do most all of my cattle records on my phone. Use the voice feature way more than thought and it has helped me more than I could’ve thought. Great idea and app

### 5/5 — Easy to use and accurate

*2026-06-25*

AI chat is a game changer. No more scrolling through records. Highly recommend. Has simplified my operation and gotten the team on the same page.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-14*

Super easy and complete!  Even works offline!

### 5/5 — The Best App

*2026-03-17*

I am very pleased with both the app and the producer of it. The man behind the app is hard working and is doing it right. I am confident anyone in the cattle business will find great value in it. I’ve tried multiple programs from the App Store and canceled all of them and moved to this program. I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am with this app. When I had questions or concerns I was able to get ahold of someone fast and get everything resolved. Plus how cool is it to tag and band a new calf after it hits the ground with the tools still in your hands and your phone in your pocket and speak records into your phone. Well done
