The company gives every animal a digital record that tracks weight, health and family history across the three or four farms and ranches the typical animal passes through during its lifespan. More than 2 million cattle are already on the platform, with close to $500 million in livestock transacted this year through Breedr's marketplace. Producers using the platform get cattle to market weight up to five months sooner, earning more than $500 per animal while [reducing methane output](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/builders-vision-backs) by an estimated 20% to 30% per animal. Breedr's funding signals how data-driven livestock tracking could help the industry extract more value and efficiency from a shrinking supply.
