# Colorado Cattle Feeders Association

We have ‘fitbits for cows!’ Connectivity on the ranch is widespread, as is every form of technology! In this keynote, I took a looking not only at the idea of ‘Ranching 2025,’  but the retail and consumer trends which might impact the beef and cattle industry going forward. We live in the era of acceleration, and everyone involved in the world of agriculture must keep up the pace!
