October 4, 2004 -- Martens Farms is pleased to introduce the new Farm Stock Mate software for livestock and herd management. This new addition to the integrated suite of Farm Works Software tools enables portable record-keeping for any type of livestock, on any pocket pc or laptop running Windows 95 or higher.
Stock Mate makes entering livestock information easier than ever before. Just take your Pocket PC with you to the barn or pasture and enter records as you go. No more printing worksheets, making handwritten notes to decipher later, or trying to find time later to input details into Farm Stock on your desktop pc. Use with Farm Funds to track feed and supply costs. Stock Mate is available from Martens Farms for $250, and $600 with an iPAQ 2210 Pocket PC. The purchase of Farm Stock will automatically update all registered Farm Works modules to the latest version. Details are available from Martens Farms at www.123farmworks.com/stockmate.htm, or by phone at 877.585.6761.
With Farm Stock, livestock operators can record and view details like body condition scores, cows in heat, new calves, and custom feed mixes without having to go back to the office," says Lorra Martens, a Farm Works Software consultant and dealer. "You keep track of information on the spot instead of having to make written notes and enter (and interpret!) them later. This makes record-keeping more complete, more accurate, and much faster and easier. And it's customizable for a variety of animals."
