Ron Spencer runs a ranching operation in Umpqua Valley, Oregon and has been building technology to help manage cattle since 2016. He founded TerraOptics because there was nothing available to integrate new technology into operations smoothly and effectively. New technology should make things easier, not more difficult and frustrating. Every system on TerraOptics is tested on our own ranch before ever being pushed through to our customers.
