A Tinder-style app called Tudder lets farmers find breeding matches for cattle
<i>...a process that often involves transporting animals long distances for breeding.</i><p>Cattle breeding, you&#x27;re doing it wrong. Maybe it&#x27;s different in UK, but on every ranch I&#x27;ve ever seen, if the cows aren&#x27;t just out with a bull or two for a portion of the year, which bulls live the rest of the year in a nearby pasture, they get artificially inseminated. The majority (I&#x27;m at 70% this season) of those AI&#x27;ed cows get pregnant. The rest receive the attentions of a pickup bull (sometimes after another AI attempt), which bull lives in the same locale as the rest of the cattle. Very few commercially successful ranchers are hauling cows a long distance to be bred.<p>It is good to get semen for AI from high quality bulls available from firms like Genex, but UPS ships semen every day.<p>Maybe they were thinking of thoroughbred horses? That breed of that different species has a live cover requirement for progeny registration, mostly to preserve some variety. Like cattle breeders, thoroughbred breeders need a lot more information than a picture...
