Everything about each animal, in one place.
Each animal in Cerrito has a single, complete record: ID, sex, status, origin, dates, and key attributes. This becomes the anchor for everything that happens over the animal’s life.
Instead of hunting through notebooks or spreadsheets, you always know exactly where to look — and you never have to rebuild records later.
A complete timeline, built over time.
Every event, change, and update is automatically connected to the animal’s record and ordered in time. Nothing gets overwritten, and nothing gets lost.
As you add information, Cerrito builds the full history for you — so months or years later, you can still see what happened, when, and why.
Lineage you can actually use.
Cerrito automatically links calves to dams and sires, building a living family tree as you record events. You can trace relationships across generations without maintaining separate charts or notes.
This makes it easy to understand lineage, performance patterns, and breeding outcomes — using the data you already record.
Know the real cost of producing a calf.
Cerrito calculates the actual cost of producing your calves, treating the operation as what it is: a system designed to produce a commercial product.
Instead of just listing expenses, Cerrito connects costs to animals, time, and outcomes — accounting for the realities of a cow-calf operation, including replacements, depreciation, and long-term structure.
This gives you a clear break-even view per calf, along with a separate understanding of what it costs to run and maintain the cow herd itself. Two views. One system. Real numbers you can trust.
See how animals progress over time.
Weights, events, and history stay connected, allowing you to see how animals develop across stages of their life. Instead of isolated data points, you get context.
Performance in Cerrito is not about complex formulas — it’s about visibility. You can see trends, changes, and progress clearly as your records grow.
Record what happens, when it happens.
Births, vaccinations, treatments, movements, weights, and more — events are the building blocks of your records in Cerrito.
You write things down as they happen. Cerrito handles organizing, linking, and tracking them across the system.
Your operation, seen as a whole.
Cerrito doesn’t just store individual animal data — it builds a complete view of your herd over time. Inventory, groups, locations, and status are always current and connected.
This allows you to understand what you actually have today, how it has changed, and how those changes relate to performance and cost — without maintaining separate herd sheets or summaries.
.
Turn records into answers.
As your data accumulates, Cerrito generates reports that summarize performance, costs, and operational activity across animals or groups.
These reports are designed to answer real questions — not to overwhelm you with charts — and can be exported when you need to share information with partners, buyers, or advisors.
Track diets and feeding information.
Cerrito supports recording rations and feeding-related data as part of the animal, corral, or group history. This allows feeding decisions to stay connected to performance and cost.
Rations are treated as operational data — not a standalone spreadsheet — so they remain part of the full picture.
