Cow-Calf Record Keeping Challenges
The Problem
- ✗Don't know which bulls sire the best calves
- ✗Hard to track pregnancy rates across breeding groups
- ✗Calving ease records scattered or nonexistent
- ✗Can't identify which cows consistently underperform
- ✗Calculating pounds weaned per cow exposed manually is tedious
The CattleOS Solution
- Track each bull's calves - birth weight, calving ease, weaning weight
- Automatic pregnancy percentage by breeding group
- Calving ease scores linked to bull and cow
- Pounds weaned per cow exposed calculated automatically
- Open cow reports - know who to cull before winter
"We culled 15 cows last year based on CattleOS data. This year's weaning weights were up 40 lbs per head. Data-driven culling works."

How It Works
Bull Performance
See which bull sired which calves. Average birth weight, calving ease, weaning weight, and ADG for each bull's offspring.
Breeding & Calving
Record breeding dates, expected calving dates, actual calving, ease scores. Alerts for late calvers and open cows.
Pregnancy Percentage
Cows exposed vs. cows pregnant vs. calves weaned. Automatic calculation by breeding group. Know your reproductive efficiency.
Common Questions
Can I track multiple bulls in one breeding season?
Yes. Assign bulls to breeding groups or use multi-sire groups. DNA testing results can be entered to confirm parentage.
How does calving ease tracking work?
Score 1-5 at calving (unassisted to extreme difficulty). CattleOS links scores to cow and bull. See which bulls cause calving problems.
What is "pounds weaned per cow exposed"?
Total pounds of calf weaned ÷ number of cows exposed to bulls. Key metric for cow-calf efficiency. CattleOS calculates automatically.
