Ranch Manager OS takes your QuickBooks or Quicken export and builds a forward, enterprise-by-enterprise plan — so you can see which enterprise makes money, the month your bank balance gets tight, and how your budget tracks against actuals, month by month.
| Cow-calf | +$146k |
| Stocker cattle | +$94k |
| Wheat | -$3k |
| Overheads | -$231k |
Every enterprise is a profit center. They roll up to your whole-ranch profit and your running bank balance — all from the accounts you already keep.
Import your QuickBooks/Quicken export and your plan seeds from your real history — fully editable. See each enterprise's gross margin, then overheads, financing and draws flow down to your operating profit and your bank balance.

Your plan is your budget. As actuals come in, check every account line month by month: where you're ahead, where you've blown out. The cash lens turns it into a running bank balance and flags your lowest point.
Ask in plain English. The advisor sees your forward plan and your ranch's location, then pressure-tests it with relevant seasonal and regional knowledge — where's the cashflow risk, is the plan realistic, what would a dry spring do. Decision support to take to your CPA, not generic advice.
Set up each animal group and its ration — pasture, supplements, feedlot — with energy and protein checks. Enter your town and Ranch Manager OS pulls your local NWS rainfall and temperature to read it as a pasture-growth signal that anchors the ration.
Warm and wet enough for strong growth — good green feed likely. Typical pasture now ~62% TDN, 22% crude protein.
Being built next — honest about what's not here yet. These aren't live today.
