 ==Summary==
 The Bullocks program does for non-breeding cattle what the [[Cowtrade]] program does for breeder groups. Although the focus of the Bullocks program is on selecting the most profitable turnover cattle, it may also be used to evaluate forced sales options.

 '''Dressing percentage and shrinkage'''
 *Both dressing percentage and transport shrinkage are highly variable. Past research has shown that transport shrinkage can be as much as 7 to 12 percent. Information from the Atherton Tablelands suggest that bullocks will average 54 percent dressing, heifers 52 percent and cows 49 percent after a short trip from paddock to abattoir.
