Cow Keeper
Udderly simple!
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Cow Keeper is a livestock management app for cattle farmers. It lets you track every cow in your herd tag number, name, breed, type, weight, date of birth, and health status with a running treatment log for vaccinations, deworming, antibiotics, and checkups. Cattle can be organized into pastures, and calves are linked to their mothers, with automatic status updates when a calf is born or a mother passes
Cow Keeper tracks the full lifecycle: active herd, sold animals, and deceased cattle each have their own tab. Purchase and sale prices are recorded per animal, and mama cow profitability is calculated automatically from her calves' sale revenue.
For farms with multiple devices, Cow Keeper syncs your herd automatically over WiFi and Bluetooth no internet or server required! A Farm Code keeps your farm isolated from neighbors and a role system lets farmers manage who can see your farms data.
