Customer Comments
I have used all the programs in the world and none work as well as CattlePro and the support is also the best. I can get help in a matter of
minutes from folks that know the cattle business . A special thanks to Mr. Harold Bowman for having a company with such honor and integrity and
can be reached at any time.

Dear Harold,
I found your CattlePro website this morning! We run Blue Moon Cattle Company in Nebraska and have branched out to include a ranch in Alaska!
We moved to Point Mackenzie in June of this year. I saw on your home page that your systems were working in 49 states, well if AK wasn't one of
them it is now.
We moved the cattle up here too. Your product is awesome and I don't know how anybody
with cattle makes a profit without this program!
Sincerely,
Todd and Rachel Hecker
Aloha Harold,
Just a short note to let you know how much we appreciate your Cattlepro 2000 Prime Plus program. Although it took awhile
to input records dating back 16 years, we are finally up and running. It's unbelievable how easy it is to keep up with the
ever-changing records now, with the help of your program.
We did have a few "glitches" when we first started but you were always there to answer our questions and to tell us where
we were making mistakes. Being out here in Hawaii we sometimes forgot the time difference but when we called you at 8PM
our time, we didn't realize it was 1AM your time. You were always there eager to lend us a helping hand. Your motto
"developed by cattlemen for cattlemen" by far meets all expectations. As far as we're concerned your program is the best
that has ever been developed.
Thank you for thinking of your fellow cattlemen.

Cattle Pro 2000 has got to be the best investment I have made in my cattle operation. I have a cow/calf operation with 120 dams.
To be efficient you must manage each animal in your operation. CP2000 take out the guesswork and ranks each dam and bull performance
from top to bottom. CP2000 has been a fantastic eye-opener for our farm. You get some fantastic insight form the tech support staff
that comes form many years in the cattle business as a bonus. The tech support is fast. CP2000 is easy to use. My only regret is
that I did not start using the program sooner.

Dear Mr. Bowman:
I have used my computer starting in 1986. I used the old Word Star word processor for several years and made my own templates to report a lot of
the necessities for the Hereford Association. It worked really well, surprisingly. It is still loaded on my computer!
I then progressed to the software developed by Everett Stohl who worked for the Hereford Association many years when they first started with the
huge IBM system that had to be leased, not purchased. His program was very useful and I got to really liking it when the Association changed computer
systems and they recommended your program, Cattle Pro. This has been a very smart decision. We have used it about a year and a half and enjoy it
and it's capabilities. We had a large problem this spring, somehow getting it out of kilter. This is when I really appreciated you, Harold Bowman.
You have always been there when I needed to talk to a knowledgeable cattleman and technician that is honest, has integrity, and is tenacious enough
to get the job done instead of automatic telephone operators. (Press 1 now, Press 2 now etc). I feel years younger (if that's possible) now that
that problem is solved, clear to Kentucky. I'll have to look no further for another system! Thank you.

A short note just to let you know how much I appreciate you and Cattle Pro 2000. We have a 550 head cow/calf operation.
Thank you for putting a cattle program together that truly keeps track of all information from AI thru carcass data. CattlePro has the ability
to use this information in a useful manner in bringing it back to the producing animal. To be able to track the numbers and make decisions based
on them, is the only way to run an efficient operation.
I have used Cattle Pro at least five years, but knowing what I know now, I should have started using it sooner.
Thank You

Hi Harold,
I would like to take this time and say Thank you for the great support that I received over the last 2 weeks. You and your staff responded
great to the problems that I was having. You answered all my questions and got back to me with solutions fast. I am really impressed with
the service in which I received from you and your staff. Cattle pro has improved my record keeping and has my whole herd in order, so that
at the touch of a finger, I can tell anyone who needs information about an animal all about there history and performance. I have just
scratched the surface of Cattle Pro, as I am a new user and have just now really got into the software. So I am sure that we will be talking
in the future. Again, Thanks a lot for making this software available to the cattlemen.
Thanks

"Harold I want to thank you for making my life so much more enjoyable. It is so much fun to get to use Cattlepro 2000. As a matter of fact it
gets kind of boring during the seasons when there is not much to do in it. The customer support your company provides is great and a makes Cattlepro
an even better value."
"May god bless you and yours. May your friendships become stronger and your life be filled with peace and joy."
Thanks,

"CattlePro Software and its owner, Harold Bowman are an excellent example of an excellent product with superior customer service and support.
We have been exclusively endorsing CattlePro Software for over 5 years and have had nothing but extremely positive feedback from the user's of this

superior value and management information to assist the producer in being more profitable."
"Mr. Bowman also acts as a Distributor for the Tru-Test product, and has had good success marketing the scale through his dealers. In addition,
Mr. Bowman has exemplary credit, is a very genuine person, and is very easy to work with. We value our relationship with CattlePro and look forward
to growing this relationship in the future."

"I want to congratulate you on the Cattle Pro 2000 Prime program. I have found it to be the best cattle program that is available on the market
today. The fact that I am able to track the production record of each cow, calf, and bull has aided me in improving the cattle at an advanced rate.
The ability to evaluate growth, carcass, reproductive and many other economically important traits has made the program one of our most valued assets
in our purebred operation. The reports that I am able to generate are almost limitless. The technical support has been very prompt and helpful.
Keep up the good work."

"We have used a cattle software program for 14 years. Computers and software have changed a lot in that time. Cattle Pro 2000 is the cattle
software program for the next millennium. It is designed by cattle people for cattle people. Cattle Pro enables us to keep performance records on
multiple registered breeds. The purebred business is very competitive. Accurate data to make critical breeding decisions is important. Cattle Pro's
easy to use menus and reports allow even new users a quick start. Keep up the good work, thank you."

"Hello! I talked to you this morning and registered my Choice program. I1ve entered my cows on it already and find it easy to use. It
uses cowman language and sense. I had tried another program and became frustrated with it and quit. It used words like "query", "
cohort", etc. I know what they mean, but my neighbors would think I was nuts if I used them around the farm! The user guide is also easy to
follow. The one thing I will have to do is get more RAM for my computer. Thanks, and goodbye for now."

Dear Mr. Bowman,
I would like to thank you for your CattlePro 2000 Prime Plus. It is the best cattle program that my husband and I have found. It has helped us
so much. It does not take long at all for us to do our books. Your program is so easy that it only took us one day to enter all our cows.
This program will help us to decide later on which cow is not raising calves as well as the other cows and also which calves to keep for breeding
and which calves to sell as stock calves. Thanks again for making my work a whole lot easier. I will gladly recommend your program to everyone.
Thank you,

"Thank you for the CattlePro 2000 Prime Plus Software .The time I have saved on my performance records and registrations is beyond belief. The
things that CattlePro 2000 does toward tracking my herd is amazing. I have used it less than 3 months and can easily see why everyone I talked to
recommended CattlePro. The key to your success is the tremendous support that comes with the program after the sale. I am also amazed at how easy
it was to download all my cattle weights from the Tru-Test scales into CattlePro. I recommend CattlePro to any cattle producer regardless of the
breed or the size of the herd."

"I wanted to take the time to express my satisfaction with the fine product that you and your company have created in CattlePro Prime Plus. We
have been using computer applications to run our ranch for the last ten years. Until we bought Prime Plus, every application just didn't quite give
us what we needed and we always had to "fudge" the system. Prime Plus does it just the way we want. Clearly this product was designed by cattlemen.
I am especially impressed with the data entry feature that uses the "pop ups" to collect data that is needed on the spot. Excellent design. I make
my living managing over two hundred programmers developing mainframe and PC code. This product is outstanding. I thank you and look forward to
long term, continuous use of your product."

"I just wanted to send you a short note to tell you how much I like CattlePro 2000. It has always been my policy to buy the best, even if it
costs a little more. I knew CP2000 was the best program out there because I had been researching cattle record keeping software for quite some
time. For the first time in a while, I decided to stray from my usual and I bought a cheaper program "that could do all of the things those more
expensive programs could do for less money." The only thing I got for less money was more problems. Now I have the program I should have bought
in the first place and it is working great. I find myself getting up very early in the morning to enter my records in the computer because I
enjoy it so much. If you have someone considering a less expensive program to save themselves some money, they may want to consider the time it
takes to enter data into a program that is not what they want and then reenter it into a program that will do the job they want. If people believe
the saying "time is money", they need to start with the best program available and not make the same mistake I did, and waste "money" entering data
into a program that does not give the results one needs."
Thanks again,

"Bowman Farm Systems came highly recommended to me by my breed association. From that recommendation I ordered my computer, printer, and the
software they recommended for the operation of my ranch. It was one of the best investments I have ever made. Their honesty, dedication, and
customer support is beyond belief. When I call for help I always talk to a person with knowledge of the computer, software, and ranching industry.
I highly recommend Bowman Farm Systems, Inc. for all your ranching needs."

"I just thought I would drop you a line to tell you how much I appreciate all you have done for me. You have taught me more about my computer
than I could have learned in school. Your instructions have made the cattle program the easiest thing I have done.
As a person who has tried several other cattle programs, I must say that this one is the most user friendly of them all. The method of keeping
up with your cattle by pasture is genius. It is more obvious each time I use it that this program was developed by a cattleman. This, along with
the absolute best technical support I have seen, makes this program the best on the market.
Thanks again for the patience you have shown while talking me though my computer problems."

"Dear Mr. Bowman,
I just wanted to thank you for helping me get my CattlePro program up and running. It was really nice of you to take the time out of your
busy day to help me out.
The program is running well and I am having a good time with it.
Thanks again,"
