The Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered platform designed for American beef and dairy operations. Track your herd, stay USDA compliant, and optimize performance across all 50 states.
The United States is the world's largest beef-producing nation, with over 91 million head of cattle spread across more than 700,000 operations in all 50 states. The American beef industry generates approximately $78 billion annually and remains the backbone of rural economies from the Great Plains to the Southeast.
American ranching presents unique management challenges. Operations range from vast cow-calf ranches spanning thousands of acres in states like Texas, Montana, and Wyoming, to intensive feedlot operations concentrated in the Beef Belt of Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado. Each production system demands different management approaches, and Agrodeo adapts to every scenario.
USDA regulations require Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) for interstate movement of cattle. Official identification — whether through metal ear tags, RFID tags, or brands — must be documented for all cattle crossing state lines. With the 2024 federal RFID mandate taking effect, digital record-keeping is no longer optional for progressive ranchers. Agrodeo makes it simple to record all official IDs, generate movement reports, and maintain compliance records digitally.
The Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program has become the gold standard for responsible cattle management in the US. Agrodeo helps ranchers document BQA practices including proper injection techniques, antibiotic withdrawal tracking, low-stress handling records, and feed additive management. This documentation is increasingly important as consumers and packers demand verified responsible production practices.
For cow-calf producers — who make up the majority of US cattle operations — Agrodeo provides comprehensive breeding management. Track calving dates, calving ease scores, calf vigor, and weaning weights. Monitor bull breeding soundness exam (BSE) results and breeding pasture assignments. Calculate pregnancy rates, calving percentages, and pounds weaned per cow exposed — the metrics that drive profitability.
Feedlot operators benefit from Agrodeo's pen-level and individual-animal tracking. Monitor average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratios (FCR), cost of gain, and closeout projections. Track health pulls, treatment protocols, and mortality rates. The AI assistant can identify underperforming pens and suggest management adjustments based on your historical data.
Stocker and backgrounding operations can track receiving protocols, processing records, and performance data during the growing phase. Whether you're running stockers on wheat pasture in Oklahoma or summer grass in the Flint Hills, Agrodeo keeps your records organized and actionable.
The financial complexity of US ranching demands robust tracking tools. Agrodeo records all revenue from cattle sales — whether through auction barns, video sales, direct-to-packer contracts, or retained ownership arrangements. On the cost side, track feed purchases, veterinary expenses, fuel, labor, interest, and land costs. Generate enterprise budgets and compare profitability across years, herds, and production systems.
Many American ranches operate in areas with limited or no cellular connectivity. Whether you're checking cattle in the Nebraska Sandhills, gathering in Montana's mountain pastures, or working pens at a remote Texas ranch, Agrodeo's offline functionality ensures you can record data anywhere. Everything syncs automatically when connectivity returns.
Agrodeo's AI assistant understands American ranching terminology and practices. Ask questions about vaccination protocols, breeding recommendations, or market timing and get responses tailored to US production systems and regulations.

The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) administers the Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) framework requiring official identification and documentation for interstate cattle movements. Beginning in 2024, RFID ear tags are required for cattle moving interstate. State-level brand inspection requirements vary by state. Agrodeo helps ranchers maintain compliance with federal ADT requirements, state brand records, and health certificate documentation for interstate and international shipments.
The American cattle herd is dominated by British and Continental breeds. Angus (both Black and Red) is the most prevalent beef breed, followed by Hereford, Charolais, Simmental, and Limousin. Brahman and Brahman-influenced breeds (Brangus, Beefmaster, Santa Gertrudis) dominate in the Gulf Coast states. For dairy, Holstein and Jersey are predominant. Agrodeo supports all breeds and their crossbreeding programs, including EPD tracking and genomic data recording.
Yes, Agrodeo supports recording official RFID tag numbers, interstate movement documentation, and health certificates as required by the USDA ADT framework.
