Founded in Fargo, 701x has spent six years creating a connected ecosystem of tools built exclusively for the beef cattle industry. Its platform combines smart wearable ear tags, herd management and registry software, DNA solutions, remote water monitoring, and other ranch-focused accessories. At the center of that system is the xTpro, a solar-powered GPS ear tag with direct-to-satellite connectivity. The technology delivers data and alerts to a producer’s phone, helping identify out-of-fence animals, health changes, estrus, calving activity, and bulls that are not mounting. That information gives ranchers greater visibility into their herds, even across remote pastures. What sets 701x apart is the breadth of its platform and the way it is built. Research, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, sales, marketing, and fulfillment all operate under one roof in Fargo. That structure allows feedback from ranchers to move directly to the teams, improving the products. Today, nearly 1,300 North Dakota ranches use 701x technology, with more than 45,000 active animals in its software and over 10,000 tagged animals statewide. Its tools are active in 48 states and Canada, while tags are being tested in Australia. As the company expands internationally, its mission remains firmly rooted in helping ranchers solve real problems with practical, connected technology. Led by CEO and Founder Kevin Biffert, the 701x team brings together expertise across finance, software, research, product development, sales, and marketing. Their shared passion, combined with strong support from the Fargo community, continues to fuel ambitious solutions for an industry essential to agriculture and rural life. ### 701x Autonomous Rancher 700 Main Ave Fargo, ND 58103 [(701) 404-2133](tel:+17014042133) [701x.com](https://701x.com) --- ## Contact **701x Autonomous Rancher** 700 Main Ave, Fargo, ND, 58103 Phone: +1-701-404-2133 Website: https://701x.com
