Testimonials
What our customers are saying
Livestock Junction was recently implemented in our feedlot. The setup was smooth and the staff training was effective. Having everything work seamlessly together from commodities to cattle inductions and feeding records has made a significant difference in operations. The ongoing support enhances the overall experience to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Livestock Junction has been a game changer for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the program to anyone. The major difference between Livestock Junction and the other management software programs (that we have both used and trialled) is the ongoing support and the ability to customise the program to meet individual needs.
