Sheep industry rolls out its first smart phone app

Lamb markets -- Is there an app for that? Well, yes, as a matter of fact there is. Producers can tap into auctions and prices at any time - while checking on the sheep, between meetings or during lunch.

The American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) has launched its first mobile application providing lamb and wool market information to anyone with a Smartphone or tablet. The free market app is available for both Apple and Android operating systems.
ASI worked closely with Randy Hammerstrom, officer in charge at the Greeley U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service’s (AMS) Livestock, Poultry and Grain Market News division, to hand-select the portions of the USDA reports to offer in this first version of the industry market app.
The app is titled ASI Market News, which can be downloaded from Apple’s App Store or the Android Store. From the front page, users can select to search national reports or action reports.
