701x was recently featured in an article from Drovers breaking down how the North Dakota-based agricultural technology company is reshaping cattle management through a blend of innovative technology, user-friendly design and exceptional customer service.

Six weeks of stress. And yet… That is how some would describe the last month and a half of the cattle markets. By now you know some of the basics of why. Like many, I have strong opinions on some of the happenings. Should you want to visit about those feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to get your take. I can even offer some insight into my own thinking if you wish. But stress doesn’t always denote a negative. You’ve been stressed and unnerved many times before a very posit

This week, I received an alert on 710 - one of our foundation cows. It was a heat alert which wasn’t what I wanted to see on an 8 year old cow who was preg checked months ago and on pasture 50 miles away.

Don’t disrespect the simple .   701x tools like the xTpro tag and the Autonomous Rancher herd management system get lots of accolades. And appropriately so.   However, I think too many of us overlook the elegantly simple and powerful xTlite tag. It is an inexpensive, easy to install, robust Bluetooth device that allows you and the kids to hop on the UTV and drive in the pasture and locate any animal wearing an xTlite that is within Bluetooth range. It’ll help you track down t
