Today’s Rancher Cattle Management Cloud

Operating in the Cloud – Data Features

This is main access point to your animal data. When you subscribe, the system creates a unique Ranch ID for you. You should have received a copy of the ID when you received your validation email. Whenever you log onto the system, that ID will appear at the top of the page. It is the controlling value for your data. It is tied to your username and cannot be changed. All of your animal records will have that ID as part of the record and is used when retrieving records for viewing and downloading.

These features will be added to as we continue to grow the program.
