What changed in MooMargin, newest first. These are the same notes the app shows under What's new.
ImprovedMoney
The Class Report now shows margin if sold today per head beside the class total, with and without interest, and the export carries the same numbers. The table fits on a desktop screen without scrolling sideways and prints in landscape.
Where to find it: Reports, Class Report
ImprovedMoney
The "Above market" warning now appears when a class's breakeven is above today's price, as intended. Before, it flagged profitable classes instead. Death losses are now valued on the weight basis your ranch chose for herd value, and reopening a closed season is limited to admins, the same as closing one.
Where to find it: Season Dashboard
NewWhole app
A new Feedback button lets you report a problem, ask a question, suggest something or say what's working. You can attach a screenshot with every number blacked out, and black out more before it sends. Feedback written with no signal is saved on your phone and sends when you reconnect.
Where to find it: Feedback button in the header
NewWhole app
A new page lists the latest improvements to MooMargin in plain language, newest first, with an archive you can search. A count shows how many you haven't seen yet.
Where to find it: Gear menu, What's new
ImprovedMoney
The Closeouts table now fits a standard laptop screen without scrolling sideways and prints on a landscape page. The explain popovers use plainer labels and formulas with dollars and pounds grouped in thousands, and Tab no longer gets stuck inside them.
ImprovedCattle & pastures
Withdrawal clearance for a sale is now worked out by the server using the same rule as the app, and the sold-within-withdrawal flag is recorded even if your phone couldn't check. Ranches set to block such sales now have that enforced.
Security enhancementWhole app
The app now checks where a change request comes from and what it contains, and refuses ones that don't look right. Size limits were added, and photo uploads are now limited to adding new photos.
ImprovedRanch & team
Reissuing a team invite is now a single step, so a failure partway can't leave someone with no live invite. Discard on an expense import and Void now ask you to confirm first and can't be triggered twice.
ImprovedWhole app
Sign-ins now last 30 days instead of 7, so you're asked to sign in again less often.
ImprovedMoney
When a season is closed for good, a sale dated inside it is now checked at the moment it is saved, so a close and a sale entered at the same time can't slip past each other.
ImprovedRanch & team
If someone else changed which animal classes a cost category applies to while you were editing, your save is now refused instead of silently replacing their work. Nothing is written until you review the latest settings.
ImprovedRanch & team
If a teammate has already changed a buyer, vendor or order buyer name since you opened the page, you now get a message to reload instead of overwriting their change. What you typed is kept.
ImprovedRanch & team
Ranch Settings is now split into sections that each save on their own. Changes are recorded in the Activity log and can be restored, and expense rules are laid out as a category-by-class grid. Operators and advisors can view settings without changing them. Expense Import now lives under Reports, and Home reminds you about QuickBooks uploads.
Where to find it: Ranch Settings (gear menu)
ImprovedField work
If a tab left open is out of date, it now asks you to refresh rather than repeatedly failing to use saved-offline entries.
NewMoney
A new How do I get this file? button on the QuickBooks upload walks you through exporting the report from QuickBooks Online, with a checklist before you upload. It also explains that QuickBooks Desktop files cannot be imported yet.
Where to find it: Expense Import > Upload a QuickBooks export
ImprovedMoney
If a season budget had its note rate stored as 0%, it now follows your ranch's note rate instead.
ImprovedWhole app
The menu is now four main places: Home, Record, Pastures and Reports. Settings sit behind a gear and your account menu holds appearance and sign out. On a phone there is a bottom tab bar with a big Record button. Setup is now called Ranch Settings, and Connections is now Expense Import.
NewMoney
Build your season budget on a Plan tab and lock it as your original plan. A Track tab then compares each line to what you have actually spent from your QuickBooks upload, with a pace marker and status, and lets you export or print it. It also works on a phone.
Where to find it: Reports > Budget
ImprovedField work
Printing a death packet no longer adds an empty page or a sideways-turned page around it. The packet itself prints the same as before.
NewRanch & team
MooMargin can record masked sessions to help troubleshoot problems. Recordings show what someone did, not what your records say. Each ranch can turn recording off with a switch in Ranch Settings.
Where to find it: Ranch Settings, Privacy
NewRanch & team
Each ranch can choose how many years death photos are kept, or keep them forever. Ranch Settings shows how many photos the next nightly cleanup will remove. An operator or admin can place a hold on a death during an open claim, and held photos are kept.
Where to find it: Ranch Settings, Death
NewCattle & pastures
The Death page now shows death trends, including weather conditions around the deaths. You can attach several photos to each death, view them later, and print an owner packet. Weather limits are ranch settings under Ranch Settings.
Where to find it: Death
ImprovedMoney
A Profit and Loss by Class export from QuickBooks now uploads cleanly. You can mark a QuickBooks category as not an expense, such as loan payments or transfers, and keep a category at the ranch level so it isn't split across classes. A new overhead category covers ranch running costs.
ImprovedMoney
The Buy page now loads all of your purchases, so head bought, total spent and the averages cover everything you have recorded. Undone purchases are also left out of the totals.
Where to find it: Buy
ImprovedMoney
When you fix a sale, the Save button now stays off until the page has finished loading. This keeps the withdrawal check from being skipped on a slow connection.
Where to find it: Sell
ImprovedField work
Fixing a death entry with a new photo no longer fails with a network error on a good connection. Photos on new death entries also now upload instead of waiting in the queue.
NewMoney
An admin can now value the herd on pay weight (after shrink) instead of live weight. Herd Value says which weight it uses and shows an estimated pay weight column, and the export includes it. Ranch Settings also has a default shrink percent and a choice of 365 or 360 day interest. Nothing changes until you pick.
Where to find it: Ranch Settings
ImprovedMoney
Breakeven and margin now use the weight you're paid on after shrink. A load's charges add up exactly to the invoice. Credit memos with no class now count in Budget vs Actual. Fixing a sale from several pastures keeps each line's load and pay weight.
Security enhancementWhole app
The app can now only add to your record of cattle events, never change or delete one. Corrections are added as new entries. Sign-in origin checks are also stricter.
Security enhancementWhole app
When you sign out, the receipts of entries already sent are removed from that phone, including sale amounts. This keeps them from being seen by the next person on a shared device. Entries still waiting to send stay on the phone.
ImprovedWhole app
An entry that was already received but re-sent after a dropped connection is no longer refused. An emptied and refilled pen no longer uses the old cattle's check-weigh to estimate weight for the new calves.
ImprovedField work
The date and location already in a death photo are now read and shown under the photo, and kept with it. If the photo has no date, it says so. You can choose not to keep the location. A photo added after an offline death now attaches to that death instead of showing up as a correction.
NewField work
Moves, doctoring, deaths, counts, check-weighs and sales made without signal save on your phone and send on their own when you're back in range. You can see what's waiting, and edit a check-weigh that hasn't been sent yet. The offline banner shows up after a failed save.
ImprovedField work
A check-weigh with more head than the books show now saves, with an amber warning instead of a refusal. Deaths, sales and moves that exceed the head on the books also save, so what you saw in the field gets recorded. Draft entries stay on your device.
NewRanch & team
Your season no longer has to start on October 1. Pick any month and season filters and pickers follow it. Ranches that change nothing keep October. The month cannot be changed while a season is closed; reopen it first.
Where to find it: Ranch Settings, Conventions, Season starts
NewRanch & team
Your ranch now has its own time zone setting, which decides what "today" means in the app. Pick from a short list of North American zones or enter another one. Changing it never moves dates on entries you already made.
Where to find it: Ranch Settings, Ranch time zone card
ImprovedWhole app
The app and its reports now agree on today's date using your ranch's time zone. Before, they could disagree in the evening, which could put the current season or date-based totals off by a day or more.
NewRanch & team
If a team member forgets their password, an admin can create a one-time reset link from the Team card and pass it along. The link works once and expires after 24 hours, and the person is signed out everywhere when they set the new password.
Where to find it: Team card, Reset password
NewWhole app
Report a problem or ask a question without leaving the app. Your name and email are filled in from your sign-in, and if the message cannot be sent, the app opens an email to support with the details and keeps what you typed.
Where to find it: Header, top of any page
Security enhancementWhole app
The app now limits how many sign-in, sign-up and password-change requests can come from one connection in a short window, to protect ranch accounts. Normal page loads are not affected.
Security enhancementRanch & team
Invitations an admin has revoked can no longer be used to join the ranch.
ImprovedRanch & team
Continuing with Microsoft now always shows the account picker, so you can choose which account to use. When you accept an invitation, the sign-in screen is pointed at the email address that was invited.
ImprovedWhole app
If you are signed in but have not yet been added to a ranch, or your email is not yet verified, the header now shows a Sign out button. Before, there was nothing on screen to end the session.
Where to find it: Header, top of any page
ImprovedRanch & team
Someone invited to a ranch who signs in with a Microsoft account can now accept the invitation. Before, they could be sent back to the sign-up form. The message shown now tells them to open their invite link again to finish joining.
ImprovedWhole app
Some phones and browsers were stuck on an old version of MooMargin. The app now updates itself with each new release and switches over the next time you move to another screen, so you are not interrupted while entering something.
ImprovedWhole app
Pages are wider, so wide report tables are no longer cut off at the edge. On a phone or other narrow screen, the top links now fold into a menu button instead of making the page slide sideways.
ImprovedMoney
On reports like Closeouts, Class Report, Season Dashboard and Expense Explorer, some figures were drawn on top of the text beside them. They now sit cleanly in their own columns. Some small color dots and page-number boxes that were squeezed too narrow are fixed too.
NewRanch & team
A buyer entered as a placeholder can now be renamed to the real name. Past sales and deposits for that buyer show the new name automatically.
Where to find it: Ranch Settings, Buyers card
NewMoney
Enter the deposit a buyer puts down when a forward contract is made, record it when it arrives, and link it to the sale. The deposit counts as part of the sale, not a deduction, and only the check due changes. Hands do not see contract prices or deposit amounts.
ImprovedWhole app
The app now checks for a newer version on its own, including when you come back to it or get signal again, so you are less likely to keep running an old copy.
ImprovedMoney
Cattle from more than one pasture can now go on a single sale, each with its own head count and weights, at one buyer and one price. A sale line can start from that pasture's most recent check-weigh, and you can change any number.
Where to find it: Sell page
ImprovedWhole app
Activity entries and their detail pages now show the names of the class and pasture instead of long strings of letters and numbers. If a name can't be found, the entry still shows.
ImprovedField work
The check-weigh page is now a table in the order you read it. The entry form asks for pasture first, then head count, then tag color, and its fields are larger and stack on a phone. Tags can have a short color name that shows on the entry screens.
Where to find it: Check-Weigh page
NewCattle & pastures
Pastures and pens now have their own screen. Each place can have map coordinates and a boundary you draw, plus a dated timeline of what it was doing through the season, so a report still matches what was true at the time.
Where to find it: Pastures screen
ImprovedMoney
Price and weight are now entered for each group in a load, and you can pick vendors and order buyers from lists. Freight, commission and other charges can be added as separate line items. Past purchases appear in a table, and an earlier entry can be corrected from there.
Where to find it: Buy page
ImprovedCattle & pastures
Check-weighs now capture each pot's weight, and the Weigh page groups results by class with average weight and gain. You can fix a pot in place, and fixing an earlier entry now opens with its group and pots already filled in.
NewRanch & team
Admins can now see who is on the team, change roles and remove access. You can also invite someone without a Google or Microsoft account by sending them a private one-time link by text, in person or any way you choose.
ImprovedWhole app
The ledger of recent entries now has its own link first in the top menu, and the MooMargin name at the top is a link home. You no longer get stranded on whichever form you opened last.
Where to find it: Top menu, first item
NewMoney
Dollar amounts and price labels now follow the currency set for your ranch, instead of always showing U.S. dollars. Labels like price per hundredweight pick up the right currency symbol too.
ImprovedField work
We fixed a storage mismatch behind the photo upload on the Death page, so photos attached to a death record now have somewhere to be saved.
Where to find it: Death page
ImprovedWhole app
Tapping from one screen to another no longer reloads the whole app each time, and the app downloads less to get started. That helps most on a slow country connection.
NewField work
MooMargin can now be installed on your phone like an app. Screens you have already opened can be read when you lose signal, and they are labeled with when the information was last updated. Entry forms are turned off while you are offline so nothing looks saved when it is not.
NewWhole app
Sign in with a Google or Microsoft account. Record purchases, moves, doctor visits, deaths (with an optional photo), weigh-ins and sales. Cost per head per day and cost of gain are figured for each tag, death loss is shown as a percent, and QuickBooks expenses can be imported and split across your tags.
Cattle finance for stocker and feedlot operations.
