In a recent online poll, Progressive Cattleman asked, “What method do you use for record keeping?”

Ranchers have yet to convert to digital record keeping. In fact, less than half of Progressive Cattleman readers use digital means. About a quarter of readers (22 percent) use Excel spreadsheets. Only 16 percent use purchased computer software. Even less use mobile apps, at about 7 percent. This makes for a total of 45 percent.

Meanwhile, 55 percent of readers still prefer to use hard copy forms of record keeping.  end mark
