Y-TEX and Fort Supply Technologies (FST) announced Nov. 13 a strategic alliance to accelerate the availability, use and acceptance of ultra-high frequency (UHF) and low frequency (LF) technologies for the livestock industry. With this alliance producers throughout the livestock supply chain will have increased access to tools to better facilitate traceability at the speed of commerce and to enable more profitable farm-to-fork livestock management.

“For nearly two decades we have observed FST pioneer livestock traceability solutions. They have a reputation of making livestock tracking work for all segments of the beef supply chain. We are excited about our new alliance and eager to provide solutions that work for our existing and new customers,” said Glenn Nielson, owner and president of Y-TEX Corporation.

Nephi Harvey, co-founder and president of FST, commented: “FST is very pleased with this alliance and the opportunities it affords FST to continue to grow and serve the needs of the livestock industry. This strategic alliance will provide both companies with the ability to positively impact our industry with advanced technology.”
