Eight services. Software first.
Two groups: the software a livestock or ag operation runs on, and the website and brand around it.
Two groups. Eight lines.
Every line has its own page: what it is, what you get, what it does not include, and the questions people actually ask before they buy it. Start wherever your problem is.
Livestock & ag software
The records, field apps, dispatch tools, and portals a livestock or ag operation runs on. Quoted from your brief, built around how the work actually happens.
- 01
Herd & animal records
A record per animal that follows the tag, not a spreadsheet only one person understands.
- 02
Offline field apps
The field half of your system, built to work with no bars and gloves on.
- 03
Hauling & dispatch
The load board and driver app that replace a dispatcher's notebook.
- 04
Grower & customer portals
A login for your haulers, buyers, or customers that shows each of them only their own loads and records.
- 05
Livestock data & dashboards
One dashboard your yard, your office, and your outside files can all agree on.
- 06
Custom ag software & integrations
Integrations, automations, and the odd bespoke tool that doesn't fit anywhere else.
Websites & brand
The public face for ranches, breeders, sale barns, co-ops, and vets. Hand-coded and built to be found by search engines and AI engines alike.
No price list.
On purpose.
Every project is quoted from your own brief. No packages, no tiers, and no published price to reverse-engineer your scope from.
We stopped publishing prices because a published price is a guess about a business we have not met yet. It makes small jobs look expensive and large ones look impossible, and it quietly pushes every brief toward whichever number was easiest to print. So we ask what you actually need, we price that, and we show you the line items. You get a real number, in writing, from a person.
Buy it once
Buy it once and you own it. On completion and full payment the project is yours. We keep a limited right to get in and fix bugs, patch security, and make the changes you ask for, and you can end that access in writing at any time.
Subscribe, nothing down
On a subscription, Mule owns and runs the project until you buy it out. That is the trade for paying nothing up front. You hold a license to use it while the plan is paid and current, and if you cancel before you have bought it out, that license ends and the project comes down. The buyout price falls every month. Part of every payment pays down the build, so what is left to buy shrinks each month until it reaches zero, and then the project simply becomes yours at no cost. Your quote names the month yours hits zero.
You already own it
If we are only hosting and maintaining a site you already own, nothing changes hands. We did not build it, so it never becomes ours, and there is nothing to buy out.
Your domain and your data are yours on every plan, whatever happens. We do not hold a domain or your customer records hostage, not even if you stop paying. Ask and we hand your data over.
Six steps,
start to finish.
- 01
Brief
A real conversation about what's broken and what you want to be true in twelve months.
- 02
Shape
Scope, screens, and the data model, drafted small and reviewed together before anything is built.
- 03
Build
The system, the records, the app, or the site, written by the people who wrote the brief.
- 04
Ship
On-time launch. No drift.
- 05
Polish
Post-launch QA, a pass on the real devices your crew uses, fixes to anything we missed.
- 06
Maintain
Optional · we host, patch, back up, and monitor what we built. Quoted from your brief.
What does Mule charge?
There is no price list, and there are no packages to sort you into. You describe the job, we ask a few questions, and a person writes back with a quote and the line items behind it. Buy the project once and you own it on completion. Subscribe with nothing down and we own and run it until you buy it out, on a buyout that falls every month until it reaches zero. If you already own a site and only want it hosted and maintained, nothing is built and nothing changes hands, so it stays yours.
What kinds of software do you build?
Herd and animal records with EID tag capture, offline field apps for the yard and the truck, hauling and dispatch software, grower and customer portals, data and dashboards pulled from your own scale heads and readers, and the custom integrations that connect them. Scope comes from your brief and so does the quote. The page at /scale covers the stack and the honest limits for a larger build.
Do you still build websites and brand?
Yes, as a smaller line alongside the software: hand-coded websites and identity systems for ranches, breeders, sale barns, co-ops, and vets. The difference now is that the studio behind them also builds the software, so a contact form can open an order in your system instead of landing in an inbox. SEO and search foundations are built into every site rather than sold as a separate program.
Do you work outside livestock and ag?
Livestock and ag is the niche, and it's where we point new work. A brief that has nothing to do with a farm, ranch, or ag business is not where we're focused now.
How long does a project take?
Set in your quote, from your brief, never from a tier. We ship the single most expensive bottleneck first instead of delivering everything at once at the end, and timing is written down at the brief stage and we hold it.
Who owns what you build?
Buy it once and you own it. On completion and full payment the project is yours. We keep a limited right to get in and fix bugs, patch security, and make the changes you ask for, and you can end that access in writing at any time. On a subscription, Mule owns and runs the project until you buy it out. That is the trade for paying nothing up front. You hold a license to use it while the plan is paid and current, and if you cancel before you have bought it out, that license ends and the project comes down. The buyout price falls every month. Part of every payment pays down the build, so what is left to buy shrinks each month until it reaches zero, and then the project simply becomes yours at no cost. Your quote names the month yours hits zero. Your domain and your data are yours on every plan, whatever happens. We do not hold a domain or your customer records hostage, not even if you stop paying. Ask and we hand your data over.
Where does Mule work?
We work with livestock and ag businesses across the Midwest and the Plains. Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin are the five states we actively sell into, and we take on work anywhere in the US when the brief fits. Mule works remotely, over calls, video, and shared screens, and comes on site when a project needs it; travel is quoted with the work.
Do you automate the boring parts?
Yes, on the surfaces where automation actually pays back: a scale read that lands straight in the record, an outside Excel file matched back by ear tag instead of retyped, a scheduled report, and the nightly job somebody currently runs by hand. The page at /automation walks through what we automate and what we deliberately do not.
Start with the part that hurts.
Send a sentence about your business and the thing that is costing you the most time. We ask a few questions, then a real person writes back with what we would build, the line items, and a timeline.
