The concepts underpinning Breedcowplus
The Breedcowplus program generates its own structure around a starting number of weaner heifers retained. The size of the overall herd is adjusted by altering the starting number of weaner heifers. The final herd structure depends on the number of weaners produced plus death rates and sales for each age group included in the model. The outputs of the model are herd structure, herd value and gross margins.
