Keep detailed notes about each horse in your operation: Store a digital picture of your horses. Enter multiple id tags for tracking purposes. Enter events that have happened to the animal throughout its lifetime. Provide standard information such as registration number and trait information.

Multiple Views of your Herd: With Ranch Manager viewing your herd could never be easier. Your herd is separated out into major categories such as offspring, Dams, Sires, Animal Sales, and Unmanaged Animals. Each view gives you the opportunity to view the animals in a list with various characteristics displayed, or you can use the pedigree and offspring views to discover an animal’s family tree, or drill into the set of offspring the animal is responsible for (including grandchildren, and beyond). Search for an animal or specific set of animals based on IDs and/or characteristics.

Pedigree editor: Track and record unlimited generations. Print and View up to 6 generations at a time, or use the expanded pedigree tree, to view the animal's entire pedigree.

Event Tracking: Any event that can happen to an animal you can track. Specific events supported include: animal sale, animal treatment (vaccinations, etc), artificial insemination/breeding, birth, and death. A custom event is also available for you to enter any custom event information. Events automatically show up in the Rancher’s Calendar so you can easily keep a history of your operation. Enter a single event that affects multiple animals with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface.

Gestation history: Track an animal’s gestation history. Ranch Manager will even generate reminders on the Rancher’s Calendar as to when an animal is estimated to give birth when a breeding record is provided.

Breeding Planner: Ranch Manager will help you avoid placing dams with incompatible sires. The breeding planner allows you to find out which sires will cause inbreeding with dams in your herd. You can print the report so you can take it with you when you are doing spring planning.

Inbreeding Detection: With inbreeding detection Ranch Manager will warn you when a sire crossed with a dam will result in an inbred animal, and at what generational level the inbreeding took place. View the pedigree graphically, with potential problems marked out.

Breed Records: Enter detailed information about each breed of animal involved in your operation such as name, weaning period, yearling period, gestation period, and membership ID for breed associations. Keep detailed notes about each breed in your operation. Monitor breed performance by allowing you to view averages on price per pound, sale weight, and total sales and compare them side-by-side to the other breeds in your operation, or view this information historically. This information can be filtered by animal age, gender and ownership.

Rancher’s Calendar: The Rancher’s Calendar is designed to keep you organized and informed as to what is going on in your operation. The calendar provides an invaluable historical catalog of what has transpired on your operation. View your calendar by month, or drill down to a specific day. Add entries to your calendar with an easy-to-use interface. Hover the mouse over visual cues and receive detailed information without drilling down.

Rancher’s Journal: In conjunction with the calendar, keep a journal of your day-to-day activities on the ranch. This free-form area allows you to be expressive and organized.
