Farm Stock Mate

Wish you had a better method of recording livestock records? If you are like most people, the paper notebook is a quick way to record valuable information on the go. While paper notebooks require minimal effort, their reliability and usefulness are very limited. Stock Mate offers a powerful solution for any livestock operation. Installing to popular handheld devices, Stock Mate eliminates the paper and offers a reliable technology in the palm of your hand.

Stock Mate is also compatible with most electronic ear tag readers. Some states, including Michigan, are forcing producers to use such technology. Using electronic ear tags, a tag reader, and a mobile device with Stock Mate, it is now possible to record and retrieve valuable data in the barn. As we approach this new era of livestock traceability, Farm Works is committed in providing the best livestock solution.
