The Coggan family have seen first-hand the measurable difference practical technology can make on farm. On the Coggan Farms 6,000‑head feedlot in Queensland, Australia, drafting livestock used to take days. Today, a connected system using Z Tags, Tru‑Test panel and stick readers, an XR5000 weigh scale, and a Prattley drafter means the team can now draft their entire feedlot in a single day – giving them more capacity, more consistency, and more time back in their day. Time is one of the most constrained resources on farm. What may be manageable at a smaller scale quickly becomes time-consuming and labour-intensive at 6,000 head. With reliable individual animal ID and integrated data and drafting technology, the team can make faster, more targeted management decisions without unnecessary animal handling. Beyond efficiency gains, precision livestock technology also supports better animal welfare outcomes and treatment accuracy – helping farming businesses stay efficient under tightening margins and increasing labour pressures.
