Whether you're managing 50 head or 5,000, you're going to want to hear how Performance Beef and Cattle Krush are helping producers simplify record-keeping, understand cost of gain in real time, and make smarter marketing decisions—without a steep learning curve.
In this episode of Farm4Profit, we explore the digital tools transforming the cattle industry with the innovators behind Performance Livestock Analytics. The spotlight is on two core technologies—Performance Beef and Cattle Krush—both designed to simplify the complexities of raising and marketing cattle.
Performance Beef is a cloud-based cattle management software tailored for feedlot and cow-calf producers. It digitizes feed management, health records, cost-of-gain tracking, and market prep—all in one simple dashboard. With real-time updates and seamless integration with feed trucks, Bluetooth scales, and QuickBooks, it saves time, reduces errors, and supports more profitable decisions. And with more than 5 million cattle on feed and a 96% customer retention rate, producers are clearly seeing value.
We also dig into Cattle Krush, a real-time market insights app that pulls data from the Chicago Board of Trade to help producers make informed buying and selling decisions. Tools like Auction Advisor, My Lots, and Profit Alerts show exactly where a producer stands—down to the head—on profitability and breakevens.
The team shares how they identified this massive need in the industry, how user-friendly the platforms really are, and where they see the cattle industry heading as technology and data play a growing role in profitability. We wrap with real-world success stories and advice for anyone looking to upgrade how they manage their livestock operation.
