Enough talk. What can it do for you?
The Cattle Manager Commercial is a program designed to fit the needs of the commercial rancher. From birth to sales the program tracks each animals performance as well as the performance of the herd. By tracking each animals birth, weaning, yearling, and current weights the program gives you instant feedback for animal and herd performance. All ratios and adjusted weights are calculated automatically giving you complete control over your comparison and culling practices. Now you truly can make an informed decision!
Data Entry
With drop down menus and a point-and-click interface, entering your calf crop is a snap! The Cattle Manager Commercial is designed with mass input tools to make data entry as quick and painless as possible. You won't find one faster!

Individual Information
The data for each animal is stored in a record like the one shown below. With a couple of clicks you can be quickly on your way to viewing or changing information. Pick lists for cells like dam, sire, color, brand, herd, group, location, and owner make data entry fast and easy.


Cattle ranching is never easy. At least your record keeping can be!

Reports - the tools for making decisions
	One of the most important functions of any good record keeping program is the reports that it generates. You may be able to enter data into the program, but can you get meaningful information back out? Is it usable? We work extremely hard determining what data should be included on each and every report. We also poll our clients to determine what they are looking for in terms of output from the program.
Here are a few of the reports that the Cattle Manager Commercial produces:
