Abstract: This invention relates to systems and methods for managing livestock, such as cattle, from conception to consumption. More particularly, this invention relates to systems and methods in which users, such as producers, feedlot managers, packers, buyers, sellers, and consumers, are brought together through shared information and improved communication. Users may access one or more applications, tools, and/or systems to increase the value of each animal, monitor and track each animal, and improve the efficiency of their operation.

Abstract: A feedyard information system, and an associated method generates pooled data taken from more than one feedyard. Data elements of the pooled data are formed in manners such that the data elements are free of identifiers which specifically identify the particular feedyards from which the data elements pertain. The pooled data is provided to individual feedyards. A feedyard manager or consultant is able to access the pooled data, thereby to be able to make better-informed decisions related to operation of the feedyard and confinement-fed animals thereat.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in conjunction with a drilling rig for catching and saving mud or the like from inside of a drilling rig pipe or drill string, comprised of one to three sections of pipe or stands connected together at connection junctures, of the type having a drill bit at the bottom thereof for use when the drill string is in the process of being pulled up out of a hole drilled in the ground. When each topmost stand of pipe is disconnected from the adjacent lower stand of pipe at a connection juncture, one stand of pipe is disconnected from the adjacent lower stand of pipe at the topmost connection juncture. A pair of doors are provided on one side on the container for opening the container on one side. A closing mechanism is attached to the container for automatically closing the container when the container is positioned at one side thereof against the pipe whereby the force of the closing mechanism against the pipe will cause the container to close.
