Knowing where your cattle are exactly can be one of the most time-consuming tasks that a rancher or cattleman is faced with. With the technology that 701x is bringing to the industry, ranchers have given their cattle a cell phone in the sense of knowing their location at all times. The autonomous rancher app sends warning alerts to the cattle owner or other workers on the ranch when an issue arises such a low movement, high movement, and other alerts enabled in the platform. FarmBits hosts, Taylor Cross and Emily Hanson, sat down with Max Cossette, VP of Business Development at 701x and learned more about this innovating technology to improve the animal industry. For all you cattle people out there, this one is for you! 701x Contact Information: E-mail: info@701x.com Website: https://www.701x.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/701x.inc/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/701x/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@701x_inc FarmBits Contact Information: E-Mail: farmbits@unl.edu Twitter: https://twitter.com/UNLFarmBits Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UNLFarmBits Taylor's Twitter: https://twitter.com/tayloranne7170 Taylor's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylor-cross Emily's Twitter: https://twitter.com/emilyjhanson12 Emily's LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/emilyhanson212 Opinions expressed by the hosts and guests on this podcast are solely their own, and do not reflect the views of Nebraska Extension or the University of Nebraska - Lincoln.
