Yep you raise valid points. We reduced the impact of a few of those by creating an inventory/farm management system that basically encouraged users to enter relevant data like vaccination schedules, weights etc - which we then piped straight into the auction system. So essentially the better your record keeping, the more trustworthy your herd looked at auction. One of the (many) difficulties was getting the farmers off of pen and paper records / excel sheets and into our system.
- jessaustin 8y agoThere is a lot of money waiting for whoever can help the beef and dairy industries become more efficient. My theory is that before we try the big "boil the ocean" stuff like a marketplace for private cattle sales, we need to find smaller easier wins. Dominance of a small market could open up possibilities for bigger markets.
