How much does it cost?

We offer the lowest fees per head, with fair pricing for herds of all sizes. The technology behind CattleProof Verified allows for efficiencies that we pass along to you, the producer, in the form of cost and time savings.

There is a small annual fee to be part of the CattleProof Verified system, and producers are responsible for audit costs, when applicable.

How is my data protected?

The key to protecting your data is our digital ledger technology. It’s a digital notary to record transactions on decentralized networks. This system creates a time stamp of your cattle information that cannot be modified, which is crucial for source and age verification. Digital ledger technology relies on decentralized networks to maintain integrity. Decentralized networks store information across multiple locations, rather than a single, central location. This safeguards against a single entity taking control over the entire network to bulk up security and resilience. Decentralized file storage and sharing is made possible through an InterPlanetary File System. This is a system for sharing, storing and accessing large amounts of digital data with a guarantee of data integrity. These technologies work together to enhance data security.

Who can see my data?

You control who can see your information. We never share any information without consent. When you grant access for other parties to view your information, they see data you provide for a USDA process verified program, and any additional information you provide for selling or marketing your cattle. This data is associated with a program-complaint tag.

Personally-identifiable information, like phone numbers, email addresses, address and herd size, is not accessible to the public.

Information saved on the CattleProof Verified platform is not accessible from a search engine.

Are my records shared with government agencies?

Records are shared only for the purpose of auditing for USDA process verified program compliance. Currently, the USDA only audits 3% of ranches enrolled in source and age verification programs across the industry.

Your information will not be shared with the USDA if you are not participating in a USDA program.

Who can help with my account?

A CattleProof Verified team member is always happy to assist you! Reach out to info@cattleproofverified.com or call 800-872-3331.

Are on-site audits necessary for any of the process verified programs?

Nope. Fill out a form and upload your information to the Dashboard, and wait for a call from a CattleProof auditor. It’s that simple.

What kind of device do I need to participate?

All you need is a smartphone or computer with internet connectivity.

What are the premiums I can expect to receive with CattleProof Verified programs?

USDA process verified program marketing plans have proven to provide extra value for producers, whether selling to a feedlot, on a grid or direct to consumers. The value of these premiums vary depending on the market. Participating in CattleProof Verified programs will also mean your animals are export-ready, with greater potential for higher premiums.
