I develop a herd management software for cattle ranchers and wanted to call cattle-something. I wrote a program to generate lots of 3 and 4 letter combinations and ended up settling on Max. I checked whois and CattleMax.com was available. 11 years and 56 countries later, it's still going strong and I couldn't imagine any other name for what our product does.

That's a pretty awesome niche you've got yourself in, and your website/product looks better designed than most industry-specific software I've seen.

Thanks for the compliment. It's the result of an programmer marrying an ag major and trying to find a career they can enjoy together. We couldn't find one so had to create one.
