Review
Was working now it just loads and closes.
Out of date
App does not reflect current pricing . Last time it was updated was January of 2023
Helpful but somewhat marginal app
First of all, app does not have options for weaning lambs in August or September.
Also, app assumes a 1/2lb per day gain all year long. Lambs don’t gain 1/2lb per day in summer and often gain more than 1/2 lb/day in winter. So default should be 1/4 lb/day in the four hottest months, 1/2lb/day in spring and fall, and 6/10 lb/day in winter.
Finally, should be an option for customizing lb/day of gain. Stockmen can easily dial in a gain rate to hit the top of the yearly market, but this app does not allow for such planning. For instance, if I am weaning 40lb lambs in July, I want them growing slowly for several months and then push them hard for last 45 days and wind up marketing a 100 lb prime lamb in December. This app does not allow for such customization.

App not functioning
It looks like a great app, but will not open on my phone. Didn’t even show an icon.
Useful tool
This is such a neat concept. I never would’ve thought to have my phone do goat/sheep selling research for me but wow is it convenient!
