Why Ranchers Start Looking for a CattleMax Alternative

If any of these sound like your last processing day, run the quick test during a free trial.

Offline Becomes a Workaround

Feels like: Writing on your hand at the chute because the system needs connectivity.

Test: Airplane mode → log a treatment → reconnect → check history.

Entry Takes Too Long

Feels like: Three animals treated, one logged. The gaps erode confidence in the whole record.

Test:Time yourself recording a vaccination on three animals.

Withdrawal History Feels Uncertain

Feels like: Mental math at the loading chute because you don’t trust the system’s withdrawal date.

Test: Pull one animal’s history. Check if withdrawals calculate automatically

Reports Need Cleanup Before Use

Feels like: Thirty minutes reformatting an export. Time you already spent entering the data.

Test: Export one report. Check how much work it needs.

One Integrated Partner for Beef, Dairy, or Both

If your operation spans beef and dairy, you shouldn’t need two platforms or a system that bolts dairy onto a beef framework. Cattlytics offers dedicated applications for beef and dairy, each purpose-built for its operation type, while both share the same foundation for health, breeding, and finances.

Decision point: If you run a strictly registered beef herd, both tools work. If you have any dairy components or run a backgrounding yard, Cattlytics provides better coverage.

Faster Records, Cleaner History
What Changes in Your Daily Workflow

What changes your daily experience is entry speed, history continuity across devices, and whether offline work survives the sync. Try these workflows in Cattlytics.

Animal Record and Full History

What matters: Every event on one profile, no screen switching.
Verify: Pull up any animal. Check if treatments, moves, and weights load together.

Health, Treatments, and Withdrawals

What matters: Automatic withdrawal calculation, no manual math at sale time.
Verify: Log a treatment. Confirm that the withdrawal date appears automatically.

Breeding, Preg Check, and Calving

What matters: Breeding to calf outcome traced in one view.
Verify: Enter breeding, preg check, calving. Confirm the chain links.

Groups, Pens, and Moves

What matters: Where every animal is and when it moves.
Verify: Move an animal. Check that the history logs have dates.

Pasture and Grazing

What matters: Which pasture, which animals, how long.
Verify: Assign a group. Confirm it shows in both records.

Multi-User with Role-Based Permissions

What matters: Control who can view, edit, or manage records.
Verify: Set up two different role accounts. Confirm each user sees what their role allows.

Your AI Assistant for Herd Questions, Powered by Your Data

These are the kinds of multi-variable questions that traditionally require pulling several reports, cross-referencing manually, and hoping you didn’t miss something. Cattlytics’ AI assistant does it in one plain-language query.

Questions You Can Ask Right Away

Pen-Side Entry to Clean Books, No Double Entry

Cattlytics syncs field data with QuickBooks; treatments, sales, and expenses flow from the app to financial records without re-entry. Based on public pages, CattleMax supports CSV exports for financial data, which may need cleanup before import.

Validate in Your Trial
