This article aims to provide information on the worth and impact of the livestock sector; information and statistics providing a baseline to guiding sustainability towards 2050. Seventy percent of agricultural land in South Africa can be utilized only by livestock and game and species are found in all provinces with high concentrations in the eastern higher rainfall regions.
Welcome to Livestock Counting Systems!
LCS's Background
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. Philip Opperman played a pivotal role in designing and building the original system and has continued to drive all subsequent developments since the first prototype was tested.
