Counting Cattle in Receiving Area

  • Every missed head costs you money.
  • Every disputed count creates tension with buyers, sellers, or partners.
  • Manual counting in sale barns, alleys, and feedlots is stressful, error-prone work—cattle bunch, zigzag, turn back, jump, duck, or bolt faster than the eye can track.
For generations, we've relied on human eyes and clickers. Cow Counter changes that.

99%+ Field-Proven Accuracy. Near Real-Time Results. Built-In Verification

Our AI-driven system uses state-of-the-art multi-lens cameras with depth sensing and IR to automatically count cattle as they move through alleys or chutes—delivering near real-time tallies with 99%+ accuracy in live, dusty, fast-paced environments.

  • Onboard mini-computer processes data instantly for immediate counts.
  • Access reports via our custom mobile app on phones, tablets, or laptops.
  • Every session is fully recorded and securely stored — review in slow motion to resolve any questions or disputes quickly.

No more guessing. No arguments. No lost revenue from miscounts. We didn't build this in a lab. We tested and refined it in real sale rings, feedlots, and alley setups with unpredictable cattle behavior—just like yours.

The unit we developed seamlessly records and reports the number of cattle moving under the lens in near real-time. It also retains the video footage for future reference when needed should there be a dispute.

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.
