Every tag. Every event. One searchable herd record.
Log calving, treatments, weights, breeding, pasture moves, purchases, and sales from your phone — and the family tree builds itself. Dam, granddam, and sire lines, three generations deep, ready when the vet, buyer, or banker asks.

See HerdCommand in action
Records, markets, and Buck — from the phone in your hand.
Watch how HerdCommand ties tag history, sale groups, market context, and plain-English field notes into cattle records you can check before treatment, sale, or loadout.
The old way
Records get lost in places software never sees.
Glovebox
The calving book from February is in the truck. Or maybe the barn.
Feed receipt
A treatment note gets scribbled down, then disappears before withdrawal date.
Memory
One person knows the pasture move, sale plan, and why that calf was held back.
Buck, without the magic act
Text what happened. Review the record. Then save it.
Buck is the plain-English record assistant — an input method, not a black box. If it is not sure which animal you mean, it asks. You can edit anything before or after it is saved.
I found Tag 1047. I’ll save:
- • Calving event
- • Heifer calf · 72 lb
- • Difficult delivery
- • Follow-up check in 48 hours
What HerdCommand helps you do
Find the record before the buyer, vet, or banker asks.
Start with tag numbers. Add events as you work. Pull clean animal or group history when it matters.
Tag history
Search any tag and see calving, treatment, weight, breeding, notes, and sale history in one place.
Sale groups
Build feeder, open-cow review, replacement, or loadout groups with head count, average weight, projected value, and notes.
Treatment checks
Keep treatments and withdrawal dates tied to the animal or group so nothing gets missed before sale.
Buck field notes
Text what happened in plain English. Review the draft record. Save it when it is right.
Records can include
Cattle market context
Know what they're worth before the trailer's hooked.
HerdCommand can reference delayed CME feeder and live cattle futures while you work — useful context for full-herd valuation, sale-group P&L, and break-even decisions. It is market context, not a promise of your local auction price.

FAQ
Straight answers before you move the herd record over.
HerdCommand is meant to fit real ranch work: phone-first, exportable, and simple enough for the crew to use.
Does this replace my calving book?
It can. HerdCommand is built to hold the same real-world notes — calving, pulls, weights, treatments, pasture moves, and sale decisions — but keeps them searchable by tag from any phone.
What if I lose my phone?
Your records are tied to your HerdCommand account, not one device. Sign in from another phone, tablet, or computer and your herd history is still there.
Can my hired hand use it?
Yes. Add field staff as ranch hands so they can help enter records without giving them owner-level access.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your records stay exportable. HerdCommand is meant to protect your herd history, not trap it.
Simple ranch pricing
Ranch Plan pricing for cattle records that stay usable.
$19/month after your free trial. Built for operators who want clean records without another complicated system. No per-head surprise fees, no hardware required, and your data stays exportable.
