Field note 1
No signal where the work happens
The chute, the calving pasture, the far side of the draw — none of them have bars. Software that needs a connection quietly loses the records that matter most.
Ranch record keeping · Cow-calf first
The herd book that works where the signal doesn't.
Ranch Compass keeps calving, health, breeding, weight, and sale records on the phone in your pocket — at the chute, in the calving pasture, halfway up the canyon. No bars required. Everything syncs when you're back in range.

The problem
Paper gets wet. Spreadsheets stay at the house. The cloud needs bars.
Most ranch software was built for a desk. Ranch work isn't done at one.
Field note 2
Records scattered across the place
A calving book in the truck, a vaccine log taped to the barn fridge, a spreadsheet on the desktop. Come weaning or tax time, nobody's sure which one is right.
Field note 3
More hands, more confusion
When two people doctor calves on the same day, somebody's notes get lost — or you pay per seat so only one person gets the app.
What it keeps
Every record a working ranch actually uses.
One book for the whole operation — each entry tied to the animal, dated, and kept for good.
- 01
Calving records
Calf linked to dam, birth date, birth weight, calving ease — logged from the pasture in seconds.
- 02
Health & treatments
Product, dose, route, and the withdrawal date you'll be asked about later.
- 03
Breeding & preg checks
Exposure, AI dates, preg results, projected calving — the whole reproductive year.
- 04
Weights & gain
Weight history per animal with average daily gain figured for you.
- 05
Sales, deaths & culls
Sale date, buyer, and price — or cause of death — kept on the animal's permanent record.
- 06
Reports
Inventory, calving, ADG, and sales as clean CSV files for the banker, the vet, or the accountant.
Offline-first
Truly offline. Not “offline” with an asterisk.
Some software calls a printable worksheet “offline support.” Some charges extra for it. Ranch Compass keeps the whole herd book on your device, so every record works with zero bars — reading and writing.
A day out of range
- 6:10 amHeifer calves in the river pasture. No bars. Record saved on the phone.
- 11:30 amThree calves doctored at the chute. Still no bars. Saved.
- 4:45 pmScale weights at the corral. Saved.
- 7:20 pmBack at the house on wifi — every record syncs to the whole crew.
Audit-grade history
A paper trail you can stand behind.
Every entry keeps who recorded it, what changed, and when. Nothing silently overwritten, nothing lost — the kind of history that holds up for the vet, the buyer, and the tax file.
