35 CALF News • April | May 2018 • www.calfnews.net DustUp Starts Livestock Marketing Revolution Ag tech company DustUp is bringing tomorrow’s tech- nology to the cattle ranching business through its DustUp app, which is now available for download on the App Store. DustUp is an agricultural technology platform for ranchers that places animal marketing into the hands of the producers. Ultimately, DustUp is seeking to transform how protein is produced, marketed and procured along the global food value chain. With a lack of robust marketing options or transparency into the pricing of animals along the supply chain, DustUp uses the latest technology to finally give cattle ranchers a voice into how their animals are exchanged. New Products “We are thrilled to reach this product unveiling milestone and to be able to showcase how we are transforming the movement of animals through the protein value chain,” says founder and CEO of DustUp Erik Cooper.“Gone will be the days of very little data and paper checks because DustUp will give both buyers and sellers a medium to work together more efficiently and economically.” Since early 2016, the DustUp team has been developing a solution to encompass the exchange of animals across all operation types. For sellers, the platform allows them to easily collect data on their herds, provide that information via a simple interface, and clear payments through the platform. Buyers, on the other hand, can view all this data to make informed investment decisions, rate sellers on the quality of their products to create a venue of trust, and schedule freight for purchased animals after settling the transaction. “DustUp brings the 21 st century to the cattle ranching business. Technology has transformed the supply chains in other industries. It’s time for the cattle industry to experience the same efficiencies in production, which will ultimately save livestock producers time and money,” Cooper adds.
