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 aren’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 can’t manage what you don’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.
