Livestock Protocols gives farmers and ranch managers a straightforward way to build repeatable care and breeding protocols, assign them to animals, and make sure nothing gets missed — whether you're working solo or coordinating a team. PROTOCOLS THAT WORK THE WAY YOU DO Create multi-step protocols for AI schedules, vaccinations, health checks, or any recurring procedure. Set the duration for each step so tasks appear on the right day. Reuse protocols across your entire herd or flock. MANAGE EVERY SPECIES IN ONE PLACE Track cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and pigs side by side. Add animals with identifiers and notes, then assign protocols individually or in bulk. STAY ON TOP OF TODAY'S WORK The dashboard shows today's tasks, overdue items, and what's coming up next — so you always know where to start. A built-in calendar gives you week and month views of every scheduled step across all animals. BRING YOUR TEAM ALONG Invite team members to share animals, protocols, and assignments. Everyone sees the same schedule, and completed tasks sync across all devices. WORKS WITHOUT INTERNET Livestock Protocols is built offline-first. Record completions, add animals, and create protocols without cell service. Everything syncs automatically when you're back online. SYNCS WITH THE WEB Your data stays in sync between the iOS app and the web app at livestockprotocols.com, so you can manage your operation from your phone in the field or your computer at the office. KEY FEATURES • Multi-step protocols with configurable durations • Bulk-assign protocols to multiple animals at once • Dashboard with today, overdue, and upcoming task views • Week and month calendar views • Team invitations and shared data • Offline-first with automatic background sync • Support for cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and pigs EULA https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

The call

Livestock Protocols's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
