Create Cell
Located in the upper left corner and above the name of your ranch, is the green Create Cell button. A grazing cell is a group of pastures on your ranch, and a grazing plan is typically made for each cell whether it contains one or multiple herds. Your operation may have one to several grazing cells.
Creating a Cell: Grazing Chart > Click the green Create Cell button > Name the Cell > Select the pastures that belong to this cell > Finish
Viewing an established Cell: Grazing Chart > Cells > Select the Cell(s) you want to view > Cell is displayed.
Visual Example: Shows the pastures closest to the highway, and the cell is named Highway Pastures. You can use cells for different areas of your ranch for specific grazing purposes.
