Ranch management software

Manage the ranch as one operation, not a stack of disconnected records.

RanchBooks brings livestock, land, equipment, crops, tasks and ranch accounting into one web-based workspace so the operational history and the financial history can tell the same story.

Built around ranch work

Ranch management is more than a herd list.

A working ranch has animals moving between pastures, groups changing head count, breeding events, equipment, crop production, invoices, expenses and people doing work at the same time. Generic accounting software can capture dollars, and a spreadsheet can capture a list, but neither naturally preserves the relationships between those records.

RanchBooks is designed to keep those relationships intact. An animal can be connected to its lineage and pasture. A group of calves can carry its weight, activity, expense and inventory history. A land record can show what is currently assigned to it. Equipment and livestock sales can flow into accounting at the point money actually changes hands.

One ranch workspaceLivestock + land + accounting + equipment + crops + tasks.

Livestock records that fit the animal

Track breeding stock and registered animals individually while managing commercial cattle, feeders, stockers and rope cattle as groups when individual tags are not the useful unit of work.

  • Individual animal records and lineage
  • Grouped livestock inventory
  • Weight and value history
  • Pasture assignment and moves
  • Sales and disposition history

Ranch accounting connected to operations

Record the real income and expenses of the ranch and connect them back to the livestock, land or equipment that produced them.

Common ranch management software questions

Can I manage both individual cattle and groups?

Yes. RanchBooks supports individual livestock records and grouped livestock records as separate workflows. That lets you keep detailed breeding-animal history without forcing every commercial calf or feeder into an individual record.

Does RanchBooks replace ranch accounting software?

RanchBooks includes operational accounting for ranch income and expenses, sales, invoices and reports. It is designed to keep financial activity tied to ranch records rather than operating as a disconnected general-purpose ledger.

Can I use RanchBooks from the field?

Yes. RanchBooks is browser-based, responsive on phones and tablets, and can be installed as a progressive web app on supported devices.
