I am curious to know how much technology helps you run your business. Maybe give some examples of some of your setups.



Would also like to know if money was no object what type of technology would you implement that you currently can't afford to do, if any?
 
Jon, if money was not a factor.............I would deffinately set up a remote camera system on our farm hooked up to the web so I could see all my pens from the house as well as when we are gone via my smart phone! and then while we are on the subject and money is not a problem.............I would hire someone to run my "smart" phone for me! Maybe SANTA will help a brother out. LOL
 
Are there special programs (database) to help you keep track of age, score, semen samples etc?
 
Yes GMS is the only one i know of and it is worth every penny. They stand behind their customers also. Awsome program, awsome people! Good Luck!
 
Thanks for the info guys. We are still a year or so out of getting things started just trying to learn as much as possible before we are ready.
 
Apple Creek Whitetails has an awesome product as well that they came up with that has all that stuff and more..........it is a softwaure you use that you pay a monthly fee and get all kinds of technology. You can keep track of everything from the fawns and their daily feeding programs to absolutley everything...and their system ties you into their other websites and the endless information that you can get from them......like for example if your trying to find out what buck you may want to breed your doe to you can bring your doe up in your program and then tie in the name of the buck you would like to breed to and the entire lineage of the future fawn's tree will automatically come up.......it is by far the best i have seen out there..... you may want to give them a call!!!
