HerdDogg's Traceability Program Takes on Big Meat to Deliver Value to Ranchers and Consumers

Remote-sensing and cloud-based technology enables producers to communicate animal health, welfare and provenance that stay with the animal throughout its life--to increase product value for local beef ranchers

LARAMIE, Wyo., June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- HerdDogg, the agtech innovator that focuses on shifting the value of meat back to the producer, announced the availability of the HerdDogg Traceability Program. By offering a solution that includes premise-based Bluetooth 5 animal sensor tags, wireless readers, and easy-to-develop data sets linked to a physical QR code, HerdDogg enables the QR 'code of custody' that tracks local producers' livestock from pasture to plate. With this solution, HerdDogg aims to increase transparency and trust of American beef and bison for consumers while empowering producers to build brand and animal value—and boost their margins.

"Everyone wants to know where their food comes from, what care was given to the animal, the food miles it traveled, and how locally that meat was raised. It's clear that informed consumers will pay a premium for a product they can trust," said Melissa Brandao, HerdDogg's founder and chief revenue officer. "The problem is that the Big Meat industry is not set up to provide that information. The system in place today is structured to channel all meat through a monolithic operation that obscures provenance details from consumers and diverts profit from ranchers. We want to fix that."

HerdDogg is on a mission to introduce innovation, traceability and transparency to meat production by supporting the interests of quality-focused producers. The HerdDogg Traceability Program, which is currently being piloted in Wyoming, tracks and preserves the true value of locally grown livestock so that ranchers can retain a larger percentage of the profits.

In Wyoming, for example, just one-third of the beef supply needs are met by local producers, the remainder is trucked in from out-of-state suppliers. Paradoxically, while beef is the #2 industry in Wyoming, 50% of the economic value of that industry leaves the state. By working shoulder-to-shoulder with Wyoming producers, HerdDogg is aiming to create a model for food traceability and transparency that can deliver value for ranchers and consumers nationwide.

"HerdDogg tags generate automated data sets onto which is layered additional data collected by the producers, protocols, and programs within the ranch. That data—along with insights into the region, breed, and flavor profiles—are encapsulated in a QR code, which can then be accessed in much the same way today as you access a restaurant menu using your phone," added Brandao.

HerdDogg is perfecting the system in Wyoming to ready it for national release, and has been working closely with the Lockhart Cattle Company, a sixth-generation, family-owned and family-operated ranch located in Wyoming. Lockhart produces top-quality, grass-fed beef to sell locally with an operation that "looks a lot like it did in 1950," according to Chase Lockhart.

"The key to our business is to increase buyer awareness by telling the story of our family legacy and our commitment to the welfare of our animals here in Jackson Hole. When people pick our meats in the grocery store, the QR code tells that story by providing details about our operation and the care we put into sustainably raising grass-fed beef. That message reaches beyond our region and builds customer loyalty because they know that the Lockhart brand means quality," said Lockhart.

The HerdDogg Traceability Program is currently open to Wyoming producers, packers, processors and sale barns, if you would like to learn more please contact us at herddogg.com/traceability.

How HerdDogg works
HerdDogg's patented technology is a small, lightweight tag designed for easy installation on cattle, bison, and other livestock. The HerdDogg TraceTag reports identification and location and lasts up to five years, while the HerdDogg WelfareTag tracks animal biometrics and lasts up to two years. HerdDogg's portable tag reader, the DoggBone, is a Bluetooth-to-cellular bridge engineered for remote monitoring of livestock that can read tags at a distance of 100 yards or more. Sensor data is stored and forwarded from the hardware into the HerdDogg SaaS cloud platform, which can be accessed from any device, including smartphones and desktop web browsers. Animal data is captured and transmitted in real time, and producers can augment animal records with their own insights and reporting.

About HerdDogg Inc.

Our patented DoggTags and DoggBone, together with our Animal Traceability Platform, help producers make more money from every animal they raise.
