HerdDogg
HerdDogg is an advanced technology company based in Longmont, Colorado. Since 2013, HerdDogg has been developing precision technologies for Agriculture. In our efforts we discovered the fundamental challenge to precision agriculture was both in the generation and gathering of the data. We designed a means of solving that problem for precision livestock with the `Data Generator-Gatherer` a common sense application of the newest smart radio technologies to solve the herd management and what emerged is HerdDogg, a low-cost, easy-to-use solution for precision livestock.

FIELD TESTED, Cow Tested
FIELD TESTED, Cow Tested
Our namesake product HerdDogg emerged over a year ago. We were visiting a rancher in Eastern Oregon and he began telling us how very frustrating it is to use RFID tags for livestock. Within weeks of developing our first HerdDogg tags, we had installed them on cattle. Prototypes can be difficult to make and prone to breaking but cows don't care. Our tags have undergone the worst kind of treatment from the sweetest looking animals. We had some successes and a lot of failures--broken, bitten, stepped on, pooped on and just plain lost. We fixed them, tested and re-tested and the result is the product we have today. They say hardware is hard--our hardware has been hardened by happy cows.

Individual animal details including ID and profile pictures can be viewed and updated from your smart phone even while you're still in the field. HerdDogg automatically gathers and updates animal profile every time the tag is read.
Biometrics shouldn't require invasive treatments or expensive hardware. Even better than a fitness tracker, HerdDogg measures animal activity and body temperature along with other key metrics right from the ear tag which makes for happier, healthier herds (and handlers).
Knowing where your animals are is often all you need to know. With HerdDogg's DoggBone reader, animals can be 'checked-in' whenever they get seen: at the watering trough, the milk barn or moving past you from one pasture to the next. It sends data from more than 30 feet away.
HerdDogg provides the best herd data access via your smart phone, on the web. HerdDogg data can be downloaded and easily integrated into your existing productivity tools or legacy systems. We have partnerships that do just that.
