The cattle business in panama is very traditional.  In other words, for years cattle families have been using the same practices without changing their ways.  By using technology, we are able to track progress perhaps never seen before with these conditions.  Tracking weight gain is critical in improving profit margins. At Hemingway Hacienda, we will be tracking weight gain weekly.  It is a critical factor in the success of our operation.  An indication that the animals arent at the optimum weight gain gives us a chance to rectify any variables that are not efficient.
