The Fast Brand Auction system is great. It is easy to use and the tech. support is even better. Researching cattle through the auction barns just became a lot faster and easier. Fort Supply is willing to work with you to customize to your states needs. They have worked very hard here in Montana to get the right applications on to the system to make inspecting and record keeping easy.

The main things that I work with are those EID tags, electronic tags. In the 6,000 head that I’ve worked with, I have yet to lose an EID tag if it’s placed correctly, placed at the base of the ear. So because of that it’s more reliable than a bangs tag, that’s much more reliable than a drop down floppy tag, and it’s much more reliable than a managers...knowledge of the herd. So that EID tag becomes the basis of identifying everything that we’re doing. So without the Archer and without the readers; I mean to be able to connect that EID number with that calf visual ID number, with that sample, with that mother, with that father, it just, I mean the EID is the basis of everything.

As spring came the unit was put to work one day during a snowstorm scanning calves as we were working them. The unit was sitting in a ½ inch of water and never quit working the whole time we worked those calves. The screen would get covered with snow and I just wiped it off and continued with my data entry.... (Read More)

The FaST EID system worked very well as I was able to scan the tags and print a label out (actually 2 labels) before the carcass got to the station where the carcass tags were put on.  I was actually able to get within 2 head on the label station and still do everything that was necessary and get the labels printed in time for them to be placed on the carcasses. This was done at a chain speed of 420 head per hour.  It took us less than 10 minutes to do the 60 head of stock show animals.... (Read More)

Pick it up and turn it on and you don’t have to be a computer technician to run it.  Very self explanatory and very user-friendly.  Fort Supply technical support has been so helpful and patient with us.
