Maintaining cattle inventory records by pasture becomes more difficult as the complexity of a ranching operation increases. Keeping track of the class of beef cattle spatially allows the operator to develop stocking data at a pasture level. The BeefTracker application (currently in beta test) allows operators to set up operational parameters, add ranches and pastures, adjust inventory, locate improvements as well as archive and retrieve geo-located monitoring data. The inventory feature is iPhone based and affords operators the ability to update inventory numbers and location at the time the changes occur. Set up of the system is simple and maintenance of inventory information on the iPhone is largely intuitive. Using this system over time will provide ranchers and range managers with pasture level stocking information across years.
