Edmonton, Alberta, January 8, 2002 — Viewtrak Technologies Inc., an Edmonton based company, is pleased to announce that they have signed a comprehensive agreement with Nilsson Bros. Inc.

Viewtrak has pioneered a sophisticated Internet based solution for cattle producers to collect individual animal data linked to unique lifetime animal identification numbers. Nilsson Brothers Inc. and Viewtrak

Technologies have heard the call from the cattle industry to seize the opportunity to add value to the now mandatory identification of cattle via the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency. Both Viewtrak and Nilsson Brothers are excited to announce that the agreement includes a provision to obtain carcass-grading information on an individual animal basis from the XL Foods beef processing plants in Western Canada. Carcass grading information will be linked to unique animal identification and this data will be added to animal records within the Viewtrak system such that for the first time an entire animal lifetime record on production and management can be constructed.

“Today’s consumer demands food products which are of high quality and consistency, are safe to eat and have been produced in a responsible and environmentally sustainable manner. There is a growing requirement in international and domestic markets for source verification, information regarding production practices and traceback to confirm food safety and quality.” says Dr. Jake Burlet, President & CEO of Viewtrak. “We strongly believe that we can provide the mechanism that the beef industry can utilize as the standard to uphold the excellent reputation that the Canadian beef industry currently enjoys.”
Viewtrak Technologies Inc. is excited to offer additional value to cattle producers by allowing all cattlemen and cattlewomen the opportunity to build their beef cattle reputation for safety, quality and consistency while at the same time creating a mechanism for all producers to improve the profitability of their operations.
