Ranch Economics
Cattle Breakeven
Every standard cow-calf breakeven calculator makes the same structural mistake — wrong inputs for labor, land, and capital. One day, $127.31, and an AI research agent later, we built something better.

Herd Data System
Montana Cow-Calf Operation
A large operation running 3,800 mother cows across 120,000+ acres needed a better way to capture, enforce, and query pregnancy testing data — without rebuilding the spreadsheet every fall.

From ranch hand to ranch tech
I'm Walker Milhoan. Since 14, I've worked ranches across the American West. In 2011 I graduated from TCU Ranch Management just as cloud computing was taking off.
I saw what technology could do for ranch operations — and what most ranches were missing. I've spent the last 14 years building it.
