About Breedr

Breedr is breaking ground in the $1 trillion global livestock industry, to bring supply chain management into the digital age. Breedr technology connects ranchers, processors and food retailers together to deliver supply chain transparency, traceability and improvements in the economic and environmental impacts of livestock production across the UK, US and now expanding into Australia. Our business consists of three tiers of value-add to the livestock industry. Our suite of tools to help ranchers make better-informed decisions about sourcing, breeding and animal management to deliver a production base fit for the future. Our marketing program executes cattle trades and generates value for both buyers and sellers across the fat and feeder cattle markets. Lastly, our fund structure invests into calves, raising them to maturity and then selling them into the market to generate returns.

With some 170+ years cumulative experience in agriculture supply, food processing, and grocery retail we have seen first-hand the impacts of the lack of relevant technology, tools, and intel to make the best decisions. Based on this, Breedr has been founded to revolutionise red meat production for the greater good. We are continuing to grow our client base in the United States and are delighted to announce we are looking to expand the team to support this.
