Cattle record keeping that works for Maine-Anjou breeders
Cut your record keeping time. • Organize your records in one place. • Maximize your profit potential.
Keeping complete details of your Maine-Anjou herd is important for ranches of all sizes, from raising a few cows to managing a more extensive operation.
- Complete cattle records: With CattleMax, your records are organized in one location that you can access anytime, anywhere – no more looking through loose papers or on the back of feed receipts! Calving histories, records of medical treatments, weights, and more are just a few clicks or taps away. Track contacts and customer records to check previous cattle purchases and sales. Use the calendar to remind you of upcoming appointments and events.
- Reports and worksheets for management decisions: Whether you need a list of cows due to calve soon, or a list of calves that are ready to wean, or just a simple inventory report for the pasture to check cows, CattleMax makes it easy to get the report you need. Worksheets can easily be generated for cattle working where you can write in the details and then enter them into the records.
- Records are always with you: Since CattleMax is web-based, you can access your records anytime, anywhere with an Internet connection. Ideal for PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad and others – a great way to have your records with you when you need them. Show buyers the records in real-time, and even add new calves from out in the pasture.

Download from your Breed Association
CattleMax works with dozens of cattle breed associations to ease the process of getting started with better records. Many associations offer an electronic file copy of your records, such as identification details, 3-generation pedigrees, current EPDs, and more which can easily be imported into CattleMax. This is a great way to get started with records of your current cattle inventory.
Import from Spreadsheet
Quickly and easily import animal details and records using the Spreadsheet Import process. Whether you have just basic inventory records or have multiple record areas, you can save time and effort while having all of your records in one location.
Individually
Cattle records can be added one by one. Only 1 form of ID (such as an ear tag) and animal type are required. Enter as much or as little information as you have – you can always add more information later. Setting defaults, such as breed and owner, will help you save time and keystrokes. It’s good to focus on adding your current inventory and then add historical records if you choose.

Update Your Records to Save Time
Update from your Breed Association
Some associations generate an electronic file of registration numbers for your newly registered animals, which provides an easy way to update your records. In addition, some associations can generate an electronic file of current EPDs so you can quickly and easily update those values for your cattle records in CattleMax.
Spreadsheet Import
Sometimes recording details in a spreadsheet or on equipment such as a cattle scale indicator is a good fit when working cattle. Easily import those records into CattleMax using the spreadsheet import process. No more hours of time and effort adding records manually when the details can easily be quickly added to CattleMax.
Group Update
Adding cattle events such as weaning and treatments is easy with Group Update. Simply select the cattle, enter the details, and the records are up-to-date. No need to go to each animal’s record – Group Update will copy the details to each animal’s record.
