Our Story
This isn't just better counting—it's smarter business, stronger reputation, and peace of mind. Built by Cattlemen, for Cattlemen Founder Kelly Allen.
“I was raised in the cattle industry, learning firsthand from my father, James C. Allen, a highly respected Pacific Northwest cattle feeder whose influence reached far beyond his own operation”. He served on numerous livestock industry boards—one as a gubernatorial appointee — helping shape and strengthen the industry he dedicated his life to.
From a young age, I spent countless hours in sale barns at his side, watching how he conducted business — with integrity, grit, and a deep respect for the people and livestock that drive this industry. Those early experiences didn’t just teach me the business—they instilled the values that continue to guide my work today.
In 2016, my son and I founded CAYAC (Cattle Auction Yard Advertising Co-op), connecting 100+afflialliate sale barns with video messaging for producers. My roots in this industry run deep, that’s why Cow Counter solves real, everyday challenges, not theoretical ones.
