A matchmaking app for cattle is helping livestock find love.
A Tinder-inspired app called Tudder allows farmers in the UK to find bulls to pair with their cows or cows to pair with their bulls.
The first-ever matchmaking app for livestock, Tudder users swipe right and left based on the look of livestock that is displayed in the app similar to what daters do with the human equivalent.
Once they find a match, users are sent to their match’s page on SellMyLivestock website where they can browse through more pictures and look at data on things like milk yield and calving potential.
“Matching livestock online is even easier than it is to match humans because there’s a huge amount of data that sits behind these wonderful animals that predicts what their offspring will be,” said Doug Bairner, the CEO of the firm that runs SellMyLivestock. “Despite the rest of the world’s view of farming, it’s actually very technologically driven.”
Thanks to the app, farmers are able to connect with other farmers across the country they would have previously not had access to.
