Dane Kuper joined me to talk about the opportunities that exist in the Cow/Calf sector if we can get them timely and relevant information. We talked about innovations on current technologies as well as newly launched technologies like “Performance Ranch” that are specifically geared towards helping the Cow/Calf operator collect meaningful data that can later empower them to make an informed decision.

Welcome to the Built in Iowa Podcast!On today's episode we have Dane Kuper from Performance Livestock Analytics. On April 8th, Zoetis acquired Performance Livestock Analytics! PLA is located in Ames, Iowa and has 43 employees. PLA is a digital platform for the livestock industry and they solve the problem of business management on farms. Dane's Co-Founder, Dustin Balsley is also from Iowa and they had worked together prior to PLA. Dane and Dustin started this as a side-hustle and bootstrapped it with their own money. How they built their minimum viable product was very unique; they hired a sophomore that was on a full ride scholarship from Iowa State to build out their product, and that same engineer is still on their team today. Their biggest competitor is pen and paper, and how PLA on-boards their customer to introduce technology is truly impressive. The average user spends 4.5 hours per day on the PLA platform seven days a week - this is a truly impressive number!In this episode, Dane shared the advantages and disadvantages of building a tech company in Iowa versus Silicon Valley. Dane grew up on a farm in North Central Iowa, then went on to wrestle at Iowa State. Dane worked for a couple different technology organizations based out of San Fransisco prior to starting PLA in 2015.Here is the link to the press release of Zoetis acquiring Performance Livestock Analytics You can find Performance Livestock Analytics website HEREYou can find Performance Livestock Analytics Facebook HEREYou can find Performance Livestock Analytics Twitter HEREYou can find Performance Livestock Analytics LinkedIn HEREYou can find Dane's LinkedIn HEREAre you looking to save money?

Performance Beef

No doubt technology plays a big role in our daily lives. In this episode, I talked with Dane Kuper and Justin Sexten to learn more about Performance Beef and how the technology makes things easier for cattle feeders. We talk about the specifics of how the technology works, the way it is improving the quality of life for cattle feeders, and some on farm “gamification” that has sprung up among users of this technology. https://www.performancelivestockanalytics.com/performance-beef/Sponsor:Performance Livestock Analytics
