Calving Book Apps

Calving season is a busy time for beef producers and it seems every year a calving book gets washed in the washing machine with valuable information never to be read again. So, an app for your phone might be a good solution with cloud backup, never lose your info again.

You can download one of several apps on your app store or google play. Many give a 30-day trial then costing from 5 dollars to 15 dollars a year depending on how much information you want to input.

If apps arenโ€™t for you, at the very least keep your calving data book in at least two places: two calving books (one in the gator and one in the house), or a calving book plus an app to keep it safe. Record keeping is necessary for beef producers to make benchmarks and progress from year to year. The famous saying you canโ€™t manage what you donโ€™t measure is true, and adaptation to new calving book apps can have a place in making record keeping easier and keep producers on track this calving season.ย
