More Efficient Cattle Operations: Marketing, Planning & Daily Work with ChatGPT
This three-part interactive course is designed specifically for Highland and heritage cattle operations who want to use ChatGPT as a practical and efficient ranch tool.
Participants will learn how to customize ChatGPT so it reflects:
- their breeding philosophy,
- their tone with customers and buyers,
- their educational approach, and
- their need for accuracy, consistency, and privacy.
The course mirrors how ChatGPT is actively used in Amy’s Highland operation—for education, marketing, genetics discussions, customer communication, documentation, and training—while giving participants the confidence to adapt it for their own farms.
