Welcome to the Montana Rancher Record Notebook developed by Drs. Megan Van Emon and Emily Meccage for use on the ranch. This notebook contains helpful spreadsheets for use on the ranch, which are easily kept in a 3-ring binder. Make as many or as few copies as you need to cover your pasture, grazing, and cattle management.


Record keeping is crucial to making decisions on the ranch. This notebook can serve as a helpful tool in keeping records organized and easily obtainable. Pasture, grazing, and cattle management sections have been developed for ease of use and easy record keeping. Most spreadsheets can be used for multiple years and locations.
