CowpanionRaising a few cattle, made simple
Cowpanion keeps every animal's records in one place and tells you what's coming up: feedings, weights, heats, due dates and treatments. So nothing slips.
Everything your herd needs, on your iPhone
Made for small herds and first-time farmers
Your herd in one place
Bottle calves, steers and cows with breed, age, weight and status at a glance.
Bottle feeding made simple
How much milk and powder per feeding as your calf grows, plus a simple "fed today" check.
Weigh without a scale
Measure with your iPhone camera or a weigh tape. One scale weight makes later estimates sharper.
Growth and costs
Growth chart, daily gain, projected finish date, cost of gain and your break-even price.
Heats, breeding and calving
Next heat, pregnancy check and due date worked out for you, with a calving checklist.
Health and withdrawals
Vaccines, treatments and vet visits in one history, with withdrawal warnings and a dose calculator.
Show and 4-H
Show day plan, weigh-in targets and a 4-H record book PDF with weights, costs and photos.
Apple Watch and widgets
Log a feeding from your wrist, see what's next on your Home Screen and a calving clock on the Lock Screen.
My Barn
Your herd lives on a little 3D farm that comes alive as you log, with seasons and a daily streak.
Visit barns around the world
Open your barn to other Cowpanion farmers and drop by theirs. Only your little barn is shared, never your records.
- Explore barns by country, longest streak or on a world map
- Leave hearts and follow your favourite farms
- Choose what you share: a farm name, your city and animal photos are all optional
- Premium: see who visited, give your barn a style and a chance to be Barn of the week
