Pasture Inventory Report

The Pasture Inventory report is the head count by pasture — what is standing where, broken down by type, sex, status and breeding status. It is the report you run before a stocking or rotation decision.

How to Run It

1. Go to Reports and click Pasture Inventory.
2. Click Edit Criteria and set your filters.
3. Click Run Report.

Columns

Rows are ordered by pasture, then by identifier, so each pasture reads as a block.

Two Things to Set Before You Trust the Count

Filter by Status

The report applies no status filter of its own — run it with no criteria and it returns every animal, including sold, dead and reference records. For a real head count, set Status = Active in the criteria panel. This is the single most common reason the numbers come back higher than expected.

Understand “Unassigned”

Animals with no current pasture are grouped under Unassigned rather than being left out. A large Unassigned block usually means cattle were moved on the ground but not in Cattle360 — see Moving Animals to a Pasture.

Reading It

The At a glance metrics and the Patterns & breakdowns charts do the counting for you, breaking the results down by pasture, type, sex and status. For a stocking decision the chart is usually more useful than the table; click a metric’s View matching records to see the animals behind a number.

What to Use It For

• Stocking rates. Head per pasture, against what you know each one will carry.
• Planning a rotation. Which pasture is carrying too much, and which is empty. See Creating a Grazing Rotation.
• Finding record-keeping gaps. The Unassigned block, and any pasture whose count does not match what you know is out there.
• Sorting a pasture’s makeup. Filter to one pasture and read the type, sex and breeding status columns — useful for checking bulls are where you meant them to be.

Tips

• Always set Status = Active unless you specifically want history.
• Run it before you move cattle, and again after. The second run is how you confirm the move was recorded, not just made.
