Tinder-Style App For Cows Tries To Help the Meat Market (bbc.com)

So you think the dating scene is like a meat market? Well, wait till you hear about the latest matchmaking app. From a report: Following the example of Tinder, UK farming start-up Hectare has launched its own equivalent for livestock and called it Tudder. The app features data profiles of animals from 42,000 UK farms in an effort to help farmers find the perfect breeding partner for their cattle. Farmers can view pictures of bulls or cows and swipe right to show interest. Hectare Agritech, which also runs online grain marketplace Graindex, says its aim is "reinventing farm trading - and making farmers' lives easier". It says it has raised more than $3.8 million from investors and organisations, including grant funding from government schemes, while tennis player Andy Murray is listed as one of its investors.

The high tech farm industry.

We all love to laugh at the farming industry, we picture rednecks with their pickup trucks, and their guns, just doing heavy labor.
However the farming industry is rather high tech, there is a lot more technology that goes on then a lot of silicon valley companies.
A lot of the Big Data, AI, Automation and Robotics technology that we are seeing going out to the normal public, have often been implemented in farms for years.

Being that these places need a lot of land to operate, they are often in remote locations, so tools like this article states, is a useful too to farmers to help cordenate their livestock with others.
