Farm and Herd Settings

Farm settings let you configure the basic details of your operation, including your farm name, livestock type, and other preferences that affect how Cattle360 works for you.

How to Access Farm Settings

1. Click Settings in the navigation menu.
2. Select Farm Settings (or Herd Settings).

What You Can Configure

• Farm / Ranch Name — The name of your operation. This appears throughout the app.
• Livestock Type — The type of livestock you manage (e.g., Cattle). This determines which animal types, sexes, and production features are available.
• Default settings — Account-wide preferences that shape new records and the options available in dropdowns: default identification and weight units, the default owner for new animals, custom coat colors, and custom breeds. These live on their own page — see Default Settings and Custom Values.
• Weather locations — The saved places your Dashboard forecast can switch between. See Managing Weather Locations.
• Data export — Download a backup of your ranch data in JSON or CSV. See Exporting Your Data.

Livestock Type

The livestock type setting configures the entire app experience:

Tips

• Set up farm settings first. Configure your farm name and livestock type before adding animals so all records are consistent from the start.
• Contact support to change livestock type. Changing the livestock type after adding animals may affect existing records. Reach out to support for help if needed.
