Culling Report

Only cows you've checked "Mark for Culling" on the Cow list. If a cow is also past her average productive age or past her rebreed-by target, that's noted under Reason(s) below, but it doesn't add her to this report on its own — only the checkbox does.

Predicted First Estrus Report

Every active cow's Expected First Cycle date, soonest first.

Calf Working Report

Every active calf that has never had an ear tag number entered yet — distinct from the "Missing Tag" checkbox (which flags a tag that was assigned but has since fallen out or gone unreadable). This is a working list for tagging day.

Predicted Weaning Date Report

Every active calf, soonest target wean date first. Target wean date is a calendar projection (birth date + the Weaning Age assumption) — see the source line under each date.

Current Cow/Calf Report

Every active breeding cow with her current calf(s), if any — same cow matching the rest of the app uses (direct link or a shared calving event).

Body Condition History Report

Every active animal's current score, plus every past score logged for her — date and who scored her. Score an animal from the Herd or Cow/Calf cards; each change is logged here automatically. Cows show a Next BCS Due date — the official cadence is once a year, 45 days after weaning — sorted most overdue first.

Current Plan

Every cow marked "Mark for Culling" on the Cow list, sorted by real action date — soonest/most overdue first. Any events that are really the same thing happening are bundled into one group card, same standard used across the whole report:

• Sell Group: every cull-marked cow with no current calf and not bred — due today. This naturally includes a cow who never had a calf, and a cow whose last calf has since weaned.
• Move Group: every confirmed-bred cull-marked cow (regardless of calf status — a bred cow with a calf waits for its wean date, a bred cow with no current calf is due today), plus every not-bred cull-marked cow with a current calf whose estrus window is still upcoming — moved proactively before that window opens, so she can't get bred by mistake while waiting on her sale/cull.
• Projected Sell Group (dashed border, no checkbox): every not-bred cull-marked cow who still has a current calf — she always ends in Sell eventually, so it's shown now at her calf's wean-group date as a forecast, not just reactively once the weaning is actually recorded. Not actionable yet, so there's nothing to check off.
• Wean Group: every active calf, clustered into weaning-day groups (any calves whose target wean dates are within 15 days of a neighbor are grouped together) — due on the median date of each group.

On a shared date, the Wean Group always lists first, immediately followed by any Move Group tied to it — a cow moves right after her calf's wean event, not before.

Market Report

Every price scanned automatically every Saturday from two sources: nearby sale barns' own weekly reports (Clifton Livestock Commission, Hamilton Livestock Commission), and USDA AMS's structured auction data (Giddings Livestock Auction, USDA Texas Weekly Cattle Auction Summary — the only sources with real age-bracketed Bred Cow/Cow-Calf Pair pricing). Grouped by category and grouped again by which source/detail it's for, most recent first. Only real numbers that were actually published — a blank "NT" (no test) week just doesn't add a row, nothing is estimated or filled in.

Herd Strategy

Connects your herd's own age mix and cull list to the Market Report's scanned prices — your actual herd counts against the most recent real price on file for each age bracket. This screen shows today's snapshot, not the trend itself; see the Market hub's Price Trend charts for how prices have moved over time.

Herd Age Distribution

Cost Per Remaining Productive Year

Market cost: her price (Bred Cow, or Cow-Calf Pair if no Bred Cow price is on file for that bracket) divided by years left before her average productive age ( years — set in Assumptions). Operating cost: every Operating Cost entry tagged with a Cycle (Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly — see Record Operating Cost), annualized and spread evenly across every active cow in the herd. Lower total is better long-term value.

Cull Candidates vs. Current Market

Every cow marked for culling, with what she'd likely sell as and the most recent matching price — her own age bracket if one's on file, otherwise the blended (all-ages) price for that category.

Predicted Calf Sale Value — Sell at Weaning vs. Hold 1/2/3 Years

Your active calves (excluding any already marked Intended Use = Breeding), by sex, matched against the closest real Feeder Steer/Feeder Heifer weight-bracket price actually scanned. Weight at each point is a flat Assumptions estimate, not a measured weight — no Weights records exist for these calves yet. Bull calves are assumed to sell as steers (the standard practice), not intact bulls. The 3-year scenario approaches mature/finished weight, past where real feeder-cattle data typically goes, so treat that price as a rougher estimate than 1 or 2 years. This is gross sale value only — it doesn't subtract the cost of feed/risk of holding them longer, so it's not a full profit comparison by itself.

Suggested Activities

Plain if/then rules applied to the real numbers above — every card says exactly which rule and which price produced it. No confidence score or forecast — a rule on today's price, not a prediction. Sell is what's already decided (cull-marked) priced out; Review is a flag, not an instruction; Hold is a trade-off to weigh, not a verdict.

Sell — Already Marked Cull

Review — Not Yet Marked Cull

Hold — This Year's Calf Crop

Operating Costs Report

Every cost logged through Record Operating Cost, grouped by category with a running total — feed, hay, lease, travel, utilities, taxes, equipment and its upkeep, whatever's been entered. A flat log for now — no per-head or per-pasture allocation yet, that's a real next step once there's real cost history to allocate.

Sales Report

Every sale logged through Record Sale, grouped by category with a running total — the income side of cash flow.

Cash Flow

Real money in (Sales) vs. real money out (Operating Costs), by month. Actuals only from what's actually been logged — no forecast yet.
