Looking at the performance of a herd or of individual cows, the focus of evaluation is often a simple “did she ‘stay’?” In many cases this question is applied in the context of ‘stayability’, defined as The proportion of heifers that calve for the first time at two years of age and remain in the herd, producing a calf every year up to 6 years of age. But while this is a good definition, asking simply if a cow ‘made it’, doesn’t always give the information needed to make improvements…Read More

Discussions around cow weight and its significance in a herd are perhaps not as frequently had as may be expected. Cow weight can be a focus at times when seasonal conditions are more challenging, and there is some pressure on available feed.

Assessing productivity in a beef herd can be done using a range of different metrics. In many cases producers focus on some obvious measures – the most common revolve around pregnancy (or conception) rates, branding and weaning rates. These are commonly expressed as percentage against the number of cows in a herd, but these rates can also be somewhat misleading. Unless the rates are calculated against the total number of cows joined, the pregnancy rate or the weaning rate, there is a risk that issues associated with fertility can be overlooked…Read More
