A New Breed Of Herd Management Technology. A New Kind Of Ag Tech Company.
As any cow/calf, stocker or feedlot operator will tell you, cattle is a tough business. Long hours, combined with increasingly lower margins are putting the independent cattle industry—the local ranches, farms and feedlots scattered across this land—in a real profitability pinch.
The HerdX® team knew the struggles independent cattlemen were facing, and we’ve made it our mission to build technologies that make livestock management more efficient, more productive and at the end of the day, more profitable.
”Our drive and motivation at HerdX® is delivering dynamic, market-changing technology products to enrich the lives of ranch customers and operators, making their jobs easier and businesses more profitable.
Ken BurroughsCEO HerdX®
Innovative Technology Engineered To Improve Cattle Operations
The result of years of product development, refinement and testing, HerdView® brings together the latest advanced technologies to help solve the critical issues facing cattle producers.
- Monitor animal movement 24/7
- Enable early detection of potential illness
- Greatly improve counting accuracy
- Makes the technology simple to set up and run
- Keep initial investment low
- Offer a “no wiring needed” solution that works in remote locations
- Create a modular system that can move with the herd’s needs
- Integrate ranch management functionality
- Build an app to access it anytime, anywhere
In short, we didn’t just aim to improve herd management. We set out to revolutionize it, disrupt the status quo, and build a livestock management system that can change cattle operations for good—at a price any rancher can afford.
