 Points to note:
 # The standard weight of one adult equivalent has been set at 455 kilograms liveweight. This is a widely used standard measure but can be changed by users if desired. All provided examples use this standard measure and it is recommended that the current value is retained for consistency.
 # The peak calving month has been set at 11 (November). This is the typical month of peak calving for the example property and the classes of livestock will be rated from November to November for birthdays.
 # All weaners have an average closing weight of 234 kilograms at twelve months of age but this becomes an average opening weight of 229 kilograms for one year old heifers and 239 kilograms for one year old steers. This has been done as the property managers believe that the one year old steers will be almost 5 percent heavier than one year old heifers at the same age.  The total opening weight of yearling steers and heifers is the same as the total closing weight of all weaners as the herd is expected to produce 50 percent male and 50 percent female weaners on average.
+# Steers are expected to have annual liveweight gains of 180 kilograms for each year that they are held giving the various age groups of steers average paddock live weights of 419 kilograms at 24 months of age, 599 kilograms at 36 months of age and 779 kilograms at 48 months of age in November of each year.
 # Retained heifers are expected to gain 171 liveweight each year for the two years they are held separate to the breeding herd.
 # Breeder cows are expected to have an average liveweight for any year of 550 kilograms, giving them an adult equivalent rating of 1.21.
 # The extra weighting for cows that wean a calf is retained at 0.35. This means that the total adult equivalent rating for the herd is increased by 0.35 for each calf weaned.
 # All classes of cattle have been given a sale month and an expected average sale weight.
 # The month of sale selected for most classes of cattle is May (month 5) or June (month 6).
