Records that leave the building.

Eight documents, each with somebody in mind

These aren't a table dumped onto a page. Each one was written for the person who ends up holding it:

• 🐄Animal record — everything about one head, for a buyer. Tag, registration number, EID, breed, dam and sire, health, weights.
• 💊Treatment & withdrawal history — every treatment and its withdrawal window, for a processor or an auditor, with anyone still under a hold called out.
• 🌳Breeding & lineage summary — an animal's background and breeding history, for a buyer who asks what she's out of.
• 🥚Production summary — what the place produced over a period, and what it was worth.
• 💵Income & expense summary — a year by category, for an accountant.
• 🧾Year-end tax-line summary — the same year grouped by Schedule F line, so the conversation starts further along.
• 🏅4-H / FFA project record — health, feed, expenses, starting and ending weight, total gain and average daily gain for one animal over the project's dates.
• 🪨Soil report — a property's USDA soil survey, for a lender, a leaseholder, or an NRCS agent.

For the kid with a steer and a deadline

The 4-H and FFA record book is the reason a lot of families need software at all, and it's the one thing nobody enjoys assembling the week it's due. Pick the animal, pick the project's start and end, and the document comes out with the weights, the feed and expenses, the treatments, the gain and the average daily gain already worked out.

The point isn't that it saves an evening — though it does. It's that the numbers come from records kept as the year went, rather than reconstructed from memory in the last week of it.

CSV, a module at a time

Settings → Export Data writes CSV for any part of the ranch — animals and groups, breeding and births, health and medications, tasks, production, inventory, pastures and land features, crops, equipment and maintenance, the daily log, finances, budgets, enterprises and contacts. Every record type the app keeps, each with proper headers rather than database column names.

The list screens carry their own Export control as well, so the subset you filtered down to on screen is the subset that comes out — the animals under withdrawal, this quarter's expenses, the open health issues.

Or the whole ranch, in one ZIP

The archive is the one that matters if you ever want to leave, so it's built to be complete rather than tidy:

• 📦Every record type, unfiltered — and a type you never used comes out as a header-only file, so "we kept no crops" is distinguishable from "crops were left out".
• 🖼️Your photographs and documents travel with it, under their own folder. A herd record without its pictures isn't the record.
• 🔓Modules you switched off are still in there. Records you made while Finances was on are still yours after you turn it off.
• 🐄Animals over your plan's cap are included. The screens hide them; the archive that makes leaving possible does not.

Who can export, and who can't

Exporting is a permission of its own, not a side effect of being able to read. Owners and managers can export; a worker records their own work and reads what they need on screen without being able to walk off with the whole ledger. Seeing a record and taking every record are different acts, and the app treats them that way.

Photos, receipts and paperwork, on the record itself

What comes out is only as good as what went in, and a lot of what a ranch knows isn't a field on a form — it's the picture of the leg, the receipt from the feed store, the bill of sale, the registration certificate. Those attach to the record they belong to:

• 🐄Animals — a photo gallery and a document list, so the papers live with the head they describe.
• 💵Finance entries — the receipt, filed against the number it explains.
• 🩺Health issues and check-ins — what it looked like on the day, which is the record no text field ever quite makes.
• 🚜Equipment and crops — manuals, service invoices, and what the field looked like at harvest.
• 📓Daily log entries, and the ranch itself for the paperwork that belongs to the whole place.

Photographs get a gallery; paperwork gets a list. Settings → Files shows everything on the ranch in one place, and all of it comes down in the archive.
