The layers behind the decision

Every acre, on a hex grid. Ten layers; four of them here. Pick one, the way you would in the app. The decision below runs on them.

One decision, start to finish

Your collar holds cattle where you draw the line. Blueprint Ag shows where to graze, how much grass is standing, how long to stay, and whether the paddock worked.

  1. Ask

    Plan next week's paddocks around heat and water. Market first.

  2. The answer lands on the map

    About 33 acres, roughly 5 days. Make it a plan, or dismiss it.
  3. The grass under it

    One hex opened: 3,112 pounds per acre, 223 days rested, with a forty year record
    This hex reads 3,112 lbs/ac; the shape averages 2,830. About 93,000 lbs standing, five days at a 60% target.
  4. The graze. Drag it.

  5. Did it work for the cattle?

    Manure, gut fill, behavior, forage. Scored where you stand, on the hex, where the whole team sees it. Swipe.

  6. And over time?

    Transects or fixed sites, whatever you already run. Your data goes with you.
