See your operation clearly.

Most ranch operations aren’t short on effort–they’re short on visibility. Simple, offline-ready software that works as hard as you do.

Capabilities

The tools your team uses every day, built for how ranches actually work.

DayHerder is designed to make key information visible, usable, and easy to share without turning data management into another full-time job.

Animal Records

Track everything that matters about your animals in one system.

Keep identity, lineage, treatment history, group context, and financial records in one place so no information gets scattered between notebooks, texts, and spreadsheets.

  • Organize animals into groups for herd-level decisions, or work with individual records when the detail matters.
  • Build a treatment history that stays with the animal from intake through exit.
  • Record sale details (weight, price, buyer) tied directly to the animal's permanent record.

Lifecycle Tracking

Follow each cow through the full lifecycle.

The information already exists in your operation. DayHerder gives it a permanent home: one record per animal, covering everything from birth to exit.

How It Works

Your operation stays connected, even when you're not.

DayHerder works on your device with or without service. When you reconnect, changes sync automatically across the team — and every record is backed up in the cloud, including historical records.

Capture
Work without waiting for signal.

Records are created on your device — phone, tablet, or laptop — and queued locally until you're back in range.

  • Works on phones, tablets, and laptops — all support offline use.
  • Capture data the moment the work happens, not hours later.
  • Nothing is blocked or lost when service drops.
Sync
The moment you reconnect, everyone catches up.

As soon as service returns, DayHerder syncs new information with your team - no manual steps required.

  • Syncs automatically the moment service returns.
  • Team members receive notifications when new tasks are assigned to them.
  • No manual exports, no chasing updates across the team.
Archive
Every record, preserved.

Data is continuously backed up to the cloud. Historical records can be retained for designated amounts of time even after being removed from the system for compliance and record keeping.

  • Full lineage information is retained forever.
  • Secure cloud backup — nothing lives only on a single device.
  • Supports compliance documentation and long-term record keeping.

Our Story
Born on a six-generation Wyoming ranch, DayHerder is grounded in the belief that ranch software should feel practical, intuitive, and genuinely helpful from the start.

Ranching has always been built on information—what's been born, bred, treated, moved, or lost. But for most operations, that information lives in notebooks, spreadsheets, or conversations that don't always carry over when you need them.

As a fifth-generation ranching family raising the sixth, we knew the gaps firsthand—flipping through record books, rewriting data, tracking down answers across multiple places, and trying to keep everyone on the same page.

So we built something better.

DayHerder is the result of real operational challenges meeting real technical expertise. What started as a way to simplify our own record keeping quickly became something bigger-a platform designed to bring clarity, organization, and communication to the entire operation.

DayHerder isn't about replacing the way you ranch. It's about strengthening it.

Because the future of agriculture shouldn't mean losing tradition—it should mean protecting it with better tools.

We’re proud to support the people who keep it all running from dawn to dusk.
