Body

There is a need for beef businesses to regularly collect and analyse data about cattle and pasture
performance, to benchmark and improve business performance, to set and adjust stocking rates, to
implement supplementation programs and to plan long-term carrying capacities. High costs of
mustering; weather conditions; and lack of labour, infrastructure and on-farm skills can prevent
timely weighing of cattle or measurements . . . . .
