We are pleased to have our CattleMax training videos now online. The videos, ranging from 3 to 5 minutes in length, discuss various areas of the software. Topics include popular records and features such as the Main Screen, Herd Update (for recording the same records for a group of cattle) as well as equipment and industry interfaces available in the CattleMax software.

CattleMax customers and ranches considering CattleMax for their record keeping needs can benefit by watching the videos to gain a better understanding of how CattleMax works and can benefit you.

Beef Cattle Short Course 2008 Activities a Success!

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

We just wrapped up our 9th Beef Cattle Short Course last week.  Congratulations to the TAMU Animal Science Dept for a great job organizing the event. With over 1500 attendees, this year’s Short Course was the most attended ever.

On Sunday evening before the Short Course, customers came to the CattleMax Workshop and gained a more hands-on understanding of CattleMax CS, the newest version of our CattleMax software. There were great questions and we appreciate the customers who took time to attend our workshop.

The Wednesday morning Business Management session at the Short Course was well attended. I enjoyed talking with everyone and highlighting the importance of good record keeping, especially during the current time of high input costs. For those interested in the article I referred to during my presentation, you can download a PDF from http://agecoext.tamu.edu/resources/animal-id/information/articles.html.

After the completion of the Short Course activities on Wednesday, some familiar friends and new faces attended our afternoon CattleMax workshop. We received good questions at this workshop as well, and appreciate everyone attending and participating.

Thanks again to everyone for another great year.
