Pasture Groups
Grouping cattle is a technique that many
ranchers use to enhance their cattle herd. When
deciding which cows to breed with what bulls,
it is important to keep records on your pasture
exposures. With the NALF-DigitalBeef pasture
group page, you are now able to manage these
records easily and paperless. Along with seeing
what pastures cattle were moved to, you can
keep track of vaccinations, synchronization and
the semen inventory. For each animal in your
herd you are able to decide if you want it moved
or weaned, or marked as yearling or ultrasound
on this page. This can all happen with just a
click of a button and everything is automatically
recorded. You can also filter by pasture, making it
easier for you to have multiple pastures but only
want to look at the one you are working with.
Go to the work menu and click
on “herd management.” The next
step is to click “Pature Groups.”
• The first step is to enter the date and select
the pasture that you are working with.
• Then you select the individual
animals that were worked/moved.
• You can record what you did with the
selected animals. (move, wean, ultrasound,
vaccinate, synchronize, AI, etc.)
