Our History
Melissa Brandao and David "Duppy" Proctor are life-long friends that previously collaborated at HerdDogg. They took HerdDogg to reality TV on America's Greatest Makers and won the hearts and minds of many Americans with Daisy the cow and Sam the border collie.
Our Expertise
While technology has advanced in recent years, it is really the industry hot buttons that have changed the most since Melissa and Duppy launched HerdDogg back in 2015. But the future is starting to come into focus with better data management, animal welfare and regenerative ranching practices. Melissa and Duppy have reunited to make cattle technology more accessible, sustainable economically viable for ranchers, farmers and cowboys.
