Bison Management Software for Modern Bison Ranchers

Track your bison herd with individual animal records. Health data, breeding history, and GPS pasture management designed for the unique needs of bison operations.

Bison ranching is growing across the country, driven by consumer demand for grass-fed bison meat and the environmental benefits of regenerative grazing. RanchOS helps bison producers keep organized records of their herds — the same tools cattle ranchers use, adapted for the realities of managing bison on large pastures.

Built for Bison Operations

Large Pasture GPS Mapping

Bison operations often span thousands of acres. RanchOS GPS mapping handles large-scale pasture boundaries, tracks animal locations, and calculates accurate stocking densities.

Minimal Handling Records

Bison are handled less frequently than cattle. RanchOS captures all the data you need from limited handling events — annual processing, pregnancy checks, and weaning — so every interaction counts.

Herd Movement Planning

Plan and record herd movements between large pastures for rotational grazing. Track grazing history and rest periods to support regenerative land management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is RanchOS used by bison ranchers?

Yes. RanchOS supports bison with species-specific subtypes and works well for the unique aspects of bison management — large pastures, limited handling events, and natural breeding programs.

Can I track bison on large acreages?

Absolutely. The GPS mapping system handles pastures of any size. Draw boundaries on satellite imagery and track which animals are in which pasture.

Does the app work offline for remote bison pastures?

Yes. The mobile app works completely offline — essential for bison operations that often span remote acreage far from cell towers.

Unlike generic farm management software, RanchOS was built specifically for livestock operations.

Medication withdrawal period tracking helps maintain FDA compliance, and smart vaccine guardrails prevent duplicate or age-inappropriate vaccinations.
