Location: Kansas | I've heard Equine Genie is pretty good. It's pricey, but from the screenshots looks pretty efficient!

Location: Texas | One of my friends uses Rendaivu. (Pretty sure that's how its spelled)
Its a website where you can also get an app for your phone.
I tried it and found it too time consuming, but my friend loves it.

Location: Montana | What do you need that Excel won't do for you?
If that sounds snotty, I'm sorry cuz I really, really do not mean it to be.
I use OneNote for everything! It's my brain now that I'm past 40.

| Checkout Cattle Pro. I use it for my Hereford seed stock operation. I think it will do what you want. Don't remember the price but it was around $100 several years ago. |

Location: North Central South Dakota, west of the Might Mo | There are several pretty nice cattle apps that would work I think. I have not tested them out much. Let me play with a couple before I recommend. The one I tested earlier I really like that would fit the bill was called "Livestock Management" but now I can't find it.

Location: North Central South Dakota, west of the Might Mo | BHR - 2013-11-22 5:43 PM There are several pretty nice cattle apps that would work I think. I have not tested them out much. Let me play with a couple before I recommend. The one I tested earlier I really like that would fit the bill was called "Livestock Management" but now I can't find it. BHR I played with "iLivestock" Android app today. I am thinking it is also available for "i" devices too. I think this might fit what you are wanting to do. It has a lot of features...pedigrees, offspring, pastures, herd health, etc. It also has a feature where you can import data, I think if you have your data in Excel for example.
I put in several of our mares and I think it's pretty nifty. Edited to add: One neat thing is you can search for animals and find them pretty easily. Our herd prefix in cattle and horses is "BHR" and I used that as a search term and found the 4 mares I inputted with BHR in their name.
Check it out and let me know what you think. In my job, I get lots of questions about "apps" and "software programs" for these types of needs. I would appreciate your thoughts.

well...yes...some of all that....what i've looked at one those apps is really tailored toward cattle but maybe with tips from BHR i could make that work...i was thinking extended pedigree but then for my own record keeping only 1st or 2nd gen are adequate...i can always drag out papers |
