Coleman Farm/Bonchasse Land Company, LLC, located south of Shreveport, Louisiana near Grand Cane, began using CattleMax software in 2002. The beef cattle operation, which began about 11 years ago, consists of approximately 600 head of cattle.

Registered Brahman females make up about 400 of the 600 head, with the remainder being top quality Hereford bulls and Braford, the F1Cross animals. Coleman Farm/Bonchasse Land Company, LLC has seen consistent growth as they strive to improve the genetics of the Brahman breed and to produce top quality Braford heifers. Linc Coleman says, “Our F1 females are a cowman’s choice for longevity and profitability.”

About CattleMax, Janelle Willis, who is responsible for keeping the cattle records for Coleman Farm, says, “We appreciate the ability to customize the reports to maximize the usefulness of our records. We have found it is important to enter data accurately, as it happens, in a consistent fashion. It is much more difficult to try to recreate the past! Willis says she uses the detailed reports more than anything else to help the farm management make decisions concerning the cattle operation. For instance, she says, “We have to review the cattle pedigrees frequently and the software helps us, especially with EPDs.”

Before CattleMax Coleman Farm used spreadsheet programs such as Lotus and Excel to manage their cattle records.

Willis says, “CattleMax has provided our ranch with the tools necessary to become more organized and efficient. I am excited about our potential and how we can grow our farm.”
