Every operation tends to keep some level of records. Calving records in a pocket calving book, key dates or counts jotted on the calendar, or perhaps even detailed records in a cloud-based program or spreadsheet. What should you do with those records? In this presentation, Kathy will shed some light on records that cow-calf operations should routinely collect and the indicators that can be calculated from them to assess progression towards operation goals. Learn about the GOLD indicators, the Beef Cattle Research Council’s record-keeping modules, comparison benchmarks, and the research that has been done on the importance of record-keeping analysis.
