This is my place, from space.
Updated every few days. No data entry, no walking every paddock.
How it works
- We draw your paddocks together — once. At your kitchen table, on a map. That’s all the setup there is.
- Satellite and weather watch your grass every day. Rainfall, heat, growth — matched against what the satellite actually sees on your place.
- You get a straight answer. Which paddock, when to move, and how sure we are.
What it won’t do
It won’t pretend to be certain. Every estimate comes with a confidence range, and when the satellite hasn’t had a clear look in a while, it says so instead of guessing.
It won’t replace your eyes. It’s a second opinion that watches every acre every day — you still know your land better than any computer.
On our place, knowing when to move has meant feeding less hay. Founding ranchers will help us put honest numbers on that — we won’t print a savings claim we haven’t measured.
What hay costs — and what BlueStem costs
BlueStem is $29 a month. Put in your own numbers and see what hay runs next to that. We don’t guess your savings — you decide whether better timing can beat the line at the bottom.
Defaults to about one round bale per cow per month on full feed — the common rule of thumb. Nudge it to match your cows and bale size, and put in your own bale price, so every number here is yours.
You feed about 200 round bales a year.
That’s about $15,000 a year— roughly $3,750 a month while you’re feeding.
BlueStem is $29 a month — about a third of a bale, or $348 a year.
It pays for itself if better timing saves you just about 5 bales a year — around 2% of your hay.
These are your numbers and the bale price you entered — not a savings promise. Exactly how much better grazing trims your hay is what we’re measuring with founding ranchers.
The Founding Rancher Program
Free for the first season. A handful of ranches. That’s the whole pitch.
What you get
- I set BlueStem up for your place personally — paddocks drawn, herd entered, working the same week.
- Satellite grass readings and move guidance for your whole grazing season. No charge.
- A straight answer on whether this thing earns a spot on your ranch.
What I ask
- Tell me where it’s wrong. Your ground truth is what makes the tool right for this country.
- A few minutes now and then to compare what it said with what you see.
Currently onboarding ranches in Grayson, Cooke, Collin, Fannin, Denton & Wise counties (TX) and Love, Marshall, Carter, Johnston, Murray, Garvin, Jefferson, McClain, Grady & Stephens counties (OK) — within Matt’s personal onboarding range. Starting close to home on purpose — the model is tuned to North Texas and southern Oklahoma grass, and we’d rather be right here than vague everywhere.
Reserve your slot for this season
Founding Rancher Program — for a handful of rotational-grazing ranches in North Texas and southern Oklahoma within Matt’s personal onboarding range: Grayson, Cooke, Collin, Fannin, Denton & Wise (TX) and Love, Marshall, Carter, Johnston, Murray, Garvin, Jefferson, McClain, Grady & Stephens counties (OK).
Founding Rancher Rate
$[PRICE]/season
Founding ranchers who stay active lock in this rate. Pricing will move once the validation study is complete — you get in at the ground floor.
What’s included
- Matt personally sets up your paddocks — drawn together on a map, first satellite read the same week.
- Satellite grass readings and rotation guidance for your whole grazing season.
- Proven on Matt’s own ranch in Cooke County — run on live grass every day, not built to demo.
- Direct line to the person building it. Your ground truth helps make the model right for this country.
In active development — founding ranchers get them first
Multi-ranch portfolio view and advisor tools are being built now — not available yet, but founding ranchers shape how they work and get access the moment they ship.
Stripe checkout — card processed securely by Stripe. Matt personally reaches out within one business day to schedule your onboarding call.
Who this is for
Rotational-grazing ranches of any size — whether you run 3 paddocks or 30 — in Grayson, Cooke, Collin, Fannin, Denton & Wise counties (TX) or Love, Marshall, Carter, Johnston, Murray, Garvin, Jefferson, McClain, Grady & Stephens counties (OK) within Matt’s personal onboarding range. If you’re not sure whether that’s you, just call — Matt would rather tell you honestly than waste your time or his.
Not the right fit today: confined or feedlot operations (no paddocks to read), ranches outside the TX/OK service area, or anyone needing certified agronomy reports (Bluestem gives operational estimates, not consultant-grade certifications).
Rather skip the form and just talk? (940) 277‑6531 — call or text. Or fill out the free inquiry form if you’re not ready to pay yet — no pressure either way.
