A pocket calving book for small family-operated cow-calf ranches. Capture essential birth details while you are still in the field.

Getting started

  1. Open New Calf. Start in the current calving season without setting up a ranch or herd.
  2. Enter Dam ID and sex. The birth time defaults to now. Save without a permanent Calf ID.
  3. Add the tag later. Find the temporary Untagged record, then add the calf tag and other details.

Common questions

A Calf ID is optional: the app supplies an Untagged number until you add a tag. After trial expiry, viewing, deleting, exporting, backup and restore remain available; new or edited records require lifetime access.

Data & backup

Calving seasons and calf records are stored on your iPhone and work offline. The app has no account, cloud sync, photo management or location tracking. Files leave the app when you choose an export or through your device backup settings.

In Settings, choose Create Full Backup and save the file. Restore from Backup validates the file and shows record counts before you confirm replacement of the current book. Save a separate backup first.

Keep backups outside the app before uninstalling it or resetting a device. Deleting the app removes its local records. If saving fails, keep the existing data, free device storage and retry.

Export & files

Export records as CSV or a printable season PDF. CSV birth times use UTC; PDF times use the iPhone’s current time zone. When importing CSV into a spreadsheet, set ID columns to Text to preserve leading zeros.

Purchase & trial

Try everything free for 7 days. Unlock the full app with a $19.99 one-time purchase. No subscription.

The trial starts when you choose it and confirm with the App Store. It does not charge automatically. No ads or usage limits on core features after unlock. Initial activation and purchases require an App Store connection.

Prices shown in USD. The App Store displays the applicable local price before purchase.

Restore Purchases

Open the app’s purchase screen and choose Restore Purchases while connected to the App Store with the Apple Account used for the purchase. Restoring a business backup does not restore purchase access.

Restoring a trial keeps its original start date; it does not begin a new seven-day period.
