This year, our primary objec tive is the development of a new stock management portal that will allow rodeo administration and stock contractors to effectively manage their stock. This initiative will not only en hance our stock statistics but also improve the overall reliabili ty in this critical area. In addition, we are implementing enhancements to our online entry system, including the introduction of online doctor releases. These improvements are part of our broader strategy to migrate operations away from the AS/400 while simultane ously enhancing functionality to better serve our members.
