HerdBook is the simple, fast way to keep cattle records — built for ranchers and small herd owners who work in the field, not behind a desk. Track every animal, log what happens in seconds, and never miss a withdrawal date or an expected calving again. HerdBook works completely offline (no signal in the pasture? no problem) and syncs to the cloud the moment you're back online — so your records are safe even if you lose or change your phone. WHY RANCHERS CHOOSE HERDBOOK • Works offline — built for the chute and the back forty • Glove-friendly — big buttons, log an event in 3 taps • Your data is safe — sign in once and your herd syncs to every device • No spreadsheets, no paperwork KEEP YOUR WHOLE HERD IN ONE PLACE • Add animals by tag number, name, sex, breed, birth date, sire/dam • Track status: active, sold, or deceased • See a complete timeline of every animal's history LOG EVENTS IN SECONDS • Calving — calf tag, sex, and calving ease • Treatment — medicine, dose, and automatic withdrawal reminders • Breeding — bull or AI, with automatic expected calving date • Weight and notes NEVER MISS A DATE • Automatic reminders for drug withdrawal end dates and expected calvings • Overdue, today, and upcoming — clearly organized • Local notifications keep you on track REPORTS & RECORDS • Herd summary by sex and status • Calving statistics • Treatment log for compliance • Export professional PDF and Excel reports HERDBOOK PRO Upgrade for an unlimited herd, unlimited reminders, and PDF/Excel export. • Monthly or yearly subscription — yearly saves you over 50% Start free with up to 10 animals.
