From Sign-Up to Insights: The Full Walkthrough

Smarter Cattle is designed to fit the way ranch work actually happens — from initial setup to daily chute-side use to season-end financial reporting.

Complete Operational Flow

A Step-by-Step Ranch Guide

Explore how Smarter Cattle connects every touchpoint of your operation seamlessly.

1

Ranch & User Setup

Set up your company profile, premises ID, and branding. Invite ranch hands, herd managers, veterinarians, and accountants with role-based permissions so everyone sees exactly what they need.

2

Pastures, Boundaries & Mapping

Enter pasture names, acreage, and soil types. Draw interactive boundaries on satellite map layers, and divide pastures into paddocks with water points and gates marked.

3

Herd Onboarding

Register animals individually with a guided Quick Add wizard, or bulk-import an existing herd from a spreadsheet. Link sire and dam records to build complete pedigree trees from day one.

4

Satellite IoT Linkage (Ceres Tag)

Pair physical Ceres satellite ear tags to individual animals. The system cross-references live GPS coordinates with your digital pasture boundaries and sends instant alerts if an animal strays outside its zone.

5

Daily Operations

Start each morning with a dashboard snapshot: herd counts, pregnant vs. open cows, weaned vs. unweaned calves, and any animals needing attention. Assign and check off daily chores as you go.

6

Breeding & Reproduction

Log natural service, AI, or embryo transfer events. The system calculates estimated calving dates automatically and generates a calf profile the moment a birth is recorded.

7

Health & Compliance

Apply preset treatment protocols, log dosages and batch numbers, and let automated booster reminders keep your vaccination schedule on track. Withdrawal tracking prevents shipping an animal too early.

8

Growth & Performance

Record birth, weaning, and yearling weights. Smarter Cattle calculates Average Daily Gain (ADG) and adjusted 205-day weaning weights automatically.

9

Pasture Rotation & Hay Production

Move herds between pastures with grazing duration tracked automatically. Log hay cuttings, bale counts, and yields across the season.

10

Warehouse & Supply Distribution

Issue feed, mineral, or medication from inventory to a specific pasture, herd, or animal — with stock levels and costs updated automatically.

11

Marketing, Sales & Financials

Record sales invoices, deduct fees and hauling charges, and see your true profit and loss — right down to the pasture and the animal.
