Welcome to Livestock Counting Systems!
Livestock Counting Systems was founded by Francois Haasbroek to address his personal need for accurate, real-time livestock counts. He wanted to know the numbers of his cattle at any given time. Together with Philip Opperman they brainstormed on how to achieve the goal, as what this system should be capable of doing.
