Traditionally, CattleFax market information has been available exclusively to the organization's members. With the new digital platform, CattleFax will continue to serve its membership base while sharing consistent and valuable business information with all producers.
Tools for management decisions
Among the new CattleFax resources is a Daily Market Headlines e-newsletter, available with a simple, free-of-charge online registration.
Features on the new CattleFax website and mobile app will include more than 100 data sets from the cattle, grain, hog, dairy and poultry markets, more than 30 weather graphics and more than 25 futures quotes – all with charting capabilities.
New online management tools will include a cow/calf breakeven calculator to estimate operation profitability. Other calculators will help producers determine breakeven prices when purchasing calves or feeder cattle as well as calculate breakeven sale prices for feeder cattle or fed cattle.
Cattle Fax members will continue to receive the in-depth market data, analyses and consulting services that they have come to expect and certain information and services from CattleFax will continue to be member-exclusive.
The beta version of the new CattleFax digital platform is available now at CattleFax.com. New site features will be fully functional on Feb. 1, 2017. The free mobile app will be available through the Apple Store or Google Play starting Feb. 1 as well.
CattleFax will unveil the platform publicly at the Feb. 1-3, 2017, Cattle Industry Convention & National Cattlemen's Beef Assn. Trade Show in Nashville, Tenn.
