Abstract

Beef producers are constantly faced with decisions on the type of cattle to produce or acquire, the management system employed to optimise their production, and the relevant market end point. These decisions are based on their experience and knowledge of their cattle's performance, seasonal situation and potential to grow cattle and the specifications of the various markets available to them. The BeefSpecs fat calculator has been designed to assist producers in making these critical decisions. This paper describes the calculator, its application and results of testing to date.
