The Backgrounding Challenge
You know the drill. You buy calves at the sale barn, get them started on feed, track their health, and hope the numbers work out when they ship. But somewhere between the pickup receipts and the spreadsheet, the real picture gets fuzzy.
What's my cost of gain?
Feed costs change. Rations change. Without daily tracking, your cost of gain is just a guess.
Where are my treatment records?
The buyer or vet asks for treatment history on a group and you're digging through a notebook.
Did I make money on that group?
If your closeout takes a weekend in Excel, you're probably not doing them for every group.
How Cattle Revolution Helps
Track Rations & Feed Cost
Build rations from your feed inventory. Log daily deliveries per pen. The app calculates your cost of gain automatically.
Monitor ADG by Pen
See average daily gain updated with every weigh-in. Know which pens are performing and which need attention.
Record Health Events
Log pulls, treatments, and vaccinations. Have a clean health record ready when the buyer or vet asks.
Close Out Every Group
When cattle ship, get a complete closeout: feed cost, treatment cost, yardage, and profit or loss per head.
