New Stock Mate Software for Livestock Management On The Go










(PRWEB) October 3, 2004

October 4, 2004 — Martens Farms is pleased to introduce the new Farm Stock Mate software for livestock and herd management. This new addition to the integrated suite of Farm Works Software tools enables portable record-keeping for any type of livestock, on any pocket pc or laptop running Windows 95 or higher.

Stock Mate makes entering livestock information easier than ever before. Just take your Pocket PC with you to the barn or pasture and enter records as you go.
