Grading Grounds | Livestock Records & Carcass Grading
Grounded in Science. Raised for Success.
The all-in-one mobile app for 4-H members, FFA participants, and ranchers who want sharp livestock records and a real understanding of carcass grading. Whether you raise cattle, sheep, swine, or goats, it turns your project into an organized, science-backed record — and it works fully offline.
What's inside
Everything you need to keep records, learn the science, and run the numbers.
Complete Animal Records
Track name, species, sex, birthdate, sale/slaughter dates, ear tag (with camera barcode scanning), and location (with GPS capture). Duplicate records to add similar animals fast.
Growth & Health
Record weigh-ins on a clean trendline chart with total gain stats, and keep vaccination and vet-visit logs.
Carcass Science
Estimate dressing percentage, carcass weight, retail yield, and primal breakdowns, backed by a Learn tab covering grading, record keeping, and 4-H/FFA history.
Finance Worksheet
Add categorized expenses and sale proceeds to instantly see net profit/loss, ROI, break-even, and a per-category cost breakdown.
Professional Documents
Generate per-animal PDF reports, a 4-H/FFA market livestock Bill of Sale, and QR code summaries — all created on-device.
EU & Language Support
Choose US or EU region with English, French, German, Spanish, or Italian. Units, currency, VAT wording, date order, and SEUROP grading references adjust automatically.
Your records stay yours
Offline-first storage means your project data belongs to you alone.
Offline-first by design
Animal records, ear tags, GPS location, photos, weigh-ins, health logs, and financial data are all stored locally on your device. The app works fully offline.
No accounts, no data collection
There are no accounts, and we do not collect, upload, or sell your data. Camera, photo, and location permissions are requested solely for the features you activate.
You control your data
Deleting a record removes it from local storage, and uninstalling the app removes your stored data. We keep no server-side copy.
