About Us
Hi-Plains Systems was founded in 1980, the owners were actively involved in writing feedlot software in the late 1970’s, before PC computers were available.
Original programs ran on floppy disks, under CPM operating system. After the IBM PC was released, we converted our software to run on PC computers. As time went by and technology changed, we adapted and our latest conversion of our feedlot programs was to windows in 2000.
As of today, we have feedlot programs installed in various locations around the world including USA, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and Australia.
Feedlot Programs Include
- Pro Feeder IX
- Pro Mini IX
- Private Feeder VII
- Pro Pasture VII
- Cattle on Feed VII
- Pro Harvest VII
- Options to interface feedlot programs with Quickbooks.
New additions to our feedlot software include 2 apps that run on an iPhone or the iPod touch. Developed in the middle of 2009, we have the Breakeven Calculator and Cattle on Feed apps on the Apple app store. The Breakeven Calculator is a standalone program that runs on the mobile devices and is downloaded from the app store or Apple's iTunes software. The Cattle on Feed program is also runs on the mobile devices but requires one of our feedlot programs and a transfer program from Hi-Plains Systems.
Other programs include options to interface with various truck scales, other companies bunk and animal health programs. Grain Harvest tracks owners share of crops at harvest.
