Connected for Better Decisions

New Industry Connection:
Ranchbot Sensors and Rainfall in CattleMax

We’re excited to share a new connection that brings your Ranchbot sensors—like water tank monitors and rain gauges—straight into your CattleMax account. Now you can see Ranchbot sensor icons on your CattleMax Pastures map, click to view the latest details, and even auto-populate rainfall in your records. Less tab-hopping, more ranch-ready decisions.

What’s new in CattleMax:

  • Ranchbot sensors on your Pastures map – See an icon for each Ranchbot sensor you’ve connected.

  • One-click details – Click an icon to view sensor information, with a quick link out to your Ranchbot account if you want to dive deeper.

  • Rainfall, automatically – Optionally auto-add rainfall to your CattleMax records (shows current rainfall and past 24 hours).

Why it helps producers:

  • Everything in one place – Your grazing, water, and rainfall info together in CattleMax.

  • Cleaner records – Consistent, automatic rainfall entries keep your data tidy.

  • Faster decisions – Spot issues and act sooner, without bouncing between systems.
"We’ve been using CattleMax for the past 25 years and Ranchbot for the last 2 years. Both technologies help us run a more efficient and successful operation. The key to both is having the information we need right at our fingertips. With the two companies working together, I can now see all our information in one place, making it a streamlined process. Whether it’s our breeding and health records or the levels in our tanks and troughs, these programs save us time, money, and give us peace of mind knowing our information is right there on my phone."
