Cattle do not have thumbs, and they can not turn on a computer. But good grass fed beef does require some technology. I use my PC and other Internet devices to help me keep abreast of new, weather and health information important to my cattle.

As technology continues to move at a rapid pace, we struggle to stay close to the next cool device available. The issue with new technology is cost and most of the time the “Next Best Thing” is quite pricey and out of our budget.

I am fortunate enough to have learned my lesson early and smart enough to avoid repeating some mistakes. One thing I learned about computers, mobile devices and all those “Internet Ready” devices are; buy quality, take care of it, keep current virus protection enabled and service it regularly.

I also have the good fortune to know Tim Grier, owner of CET, Computer Magician. When it comes to computer repair for Mooresville, Tim is always on my speed dial and I keep a stack of his business cards handy for my friends. Tim provides great service and at a very reasonable price, but what I like is he’s an honest man and will not waste your money on a PC not worth fixing.

To me, technology seems to move at light speed, a pace I find way too fast. I can keep up to date with my personal devices and not have to purchase new items every year, by taking care of my equipment and calling on good professional people.
