DigitalBeef is Coming to the ACA With the new DigitalBeef system coming online in February members will be able to do more work online. This will include registrations, transfers, entering data, cow herd inventories, pay bills and will add several herd management tools for you. Use this new sysytem to your advantage and track A.I. breeding dates, pasture exposure dates, calving dates as well as semen and embryo inventories. The benefits to this system are seemingly endless. The ACA will try and make this switch as seamless as possible but we know that there will be some complications. So please bare with us as we are upgrading to DigitalBeef. DigitalBeef is currently working with eight breed associations. These getting started steps will hopefully be able to help. If anyone would like a sneak preview please call the office.
