About Us
What began in 1977, continues today
There’s a reason more than 70% of feedyards trust Turnkey Computer Systems to support their business. For nearly five decades, we’ve built software and services designed specifically for the cattle industry. Our developers, technicians, and support staff understand the challenges operators face, and create solutions to strengthen efficiency and growth. When we say Trust Us, We’re Turnkey, we mean it.
Turnkey’s history
Founded in 1977, Turnkey Computer Systems began as a Digital Equipment Corporation reseller, providing hardware installation, general accounting applications, and industry-specific software. Over the years, we’ve grown from a small Amarillo-based team to more than 80 employees serving feedyards across the U.S. and Canada.
From the launch of our Feedyard Accounting and Management software in 1981 to the development of fully integrated cattle tracking and accounting systems, our history reflects a steady commitment to innovation and customer partnership. Today, we continue to deliver the most advanced accounting and management tools to meet the evolving needs of the cattle feeding industry.

A tradition of community service
Charitable giving and volunteerism have always been an important part of Turnkey’s culture. For more than 25 years, we’ve raised money to support Bethesda Outreach, a program that supplies basic needs to individuals in Amarillo. We also work with Snack Pak 4 Kids to provide meals to school-aged children over weekends and holiday breaks. Our employees volunteer to fill packs, and the company raises money to supply protein for included meals. Our photo gallery offers a look at these efforts.
Giving back
Fundraising is part of Turnkey’s culture. Our annual golf tournaments raise funds for charitable organizations in the Amarillo, Texas, community.
A team effort
Turnkey’s team members make time for what’s most important: giving back.
Filling a need
Turnkey employees volunteer with Snack Pak 4 Kids to help fill packs with food for students experiencing food insecurity when school isn’t in session.
Team building
Volunteering side-by-side is a tradition that we’re proud to continue.
