Farm Technology Boosts Cattle Care with Performance Beef

By Andi Anderson

Technology continues to play a growing role on today’s farms, especially in livestock operations. At N. Siefring Farms and Trucking, Ben Siefring explains how his family’s beef operation has benefited from adopting Performance Beef, a digital platform developed by Performance Livestock Analytics.

Performance Beef integrates technology into daily cattle management, helping producers save time while making better-informed decisions. The software streamlines recordkeeping, feeding schedules, and performance tracking, giving farmers clear insights into their herds.

For operations like the Siefrings’, this means having accurate data at their fingertips to guide efficiency and profitability.

According to Siefring, Performance Beef has improved how their farm tracks feed usage and animal growth. By replacing manual logs with digital records, the system reduces errors and provides more reliable data.

This information helps in adjusting rations, monitoring cattle health, and planning future production strategies.

The program also supports better communication within the operation. With real-time updates, multiple team members can access feeding information and animal performance data, ensuring consistency across the farm.

For busy livestock managers, having centralized information makes it easier to oversee large groups of cattle and respond quickly to changing needs.

Beyond improving efficiency, technology like Performance Beef also positions farms for the future.

As the beef industry faces tighter margins and increasing demands for transparency, accurate digital records give producers a valuable edge in marketing, compliance, and long-term planning.

As Siefring’s experience shows, farm technology is no longer limited to equipment in the field—it now plays an essential role inside the feedlot. Performance Beef demonstrates how digital tools can simplify management and strengthen the bottom line, while keeping farmers focused on what matters most: raising healthy cattle.
