Some of the most important details in a feedlot never make it onto a form. A sick pen you want to recheck tomorrow. A repair the gate crew mentioned. The reason a load came in light. Until now, those details lived on scraps of paper, in text messages, or in your head.
Notes changes that. It's a fast, in-app way to capture what's happening on the yard the moment it happens — by typing, snapping a photo, or recording your voice — and then attach that note to the exact record it belongs to.
Open Notes from your mobile home screen, tap Note, and capture it however is fastest in the moment:
You can combine all three in a single note: speak your observation, add a photo, and tweak the transcribed text before saving.
Why voice matters in the field: When your hands are full or you're on horseback, talking is faster than typing. Record now, read it later — already written out for you.
Every note you save lands in your Notes list, newest first.
There are three ways to open the Notes list:
Scroll the list and tap any note to open it — text, photo, and audio all in one view. The list loads as you scroll, so even months of notes stay fast and easy to browse.
Each note shows at a glance whether it includes a photo or audio, and which record (if any) it's attached to — so you can scan the list and find what you need in seconds.
A note is far more useful when it's tied to the record it explains. FLS gives you two ways to make that connection — pick whichever fits how you're working at the moment.
This is the "out in the yard" workflow. Something happens, so you grab your phone and capture a note right away — no need to stop and create a full record first.
The note instantly shows up on that record's screen. Use this when you want to capture the detail first and sort out where it belongs after — perfect for busy moments when you can't stop to do paperwork.
This is the "doing the paperwork" workflow. You're already adding or editing a record — an Expense, a Cattle Move, a Pen Transfer — and you want to attach the story behind it without leaving the screen.
Use this when the note and the record naturally happen together — for example, snapping a photo of a delivery ticket as you enter the expense.
No matter which path you take, the result is the same: the note lives on the record it explains, and the record points back to the note. The next person who opens that expense, sale, or transfer sees the full story behind it. Need to move a note to a different record? Re-link it any time — FLS keeps everything in sync, so a record never shows two conflicting notes.
Stop relying on memory and sticky notes. Capture the detail once — by voice, photo, or text — attach it where it belongs, and find it instantly when you need it.
Try it now: Open the FLS mobile app, tap Notes, and capture your first note in under 30 seconds.
