Step 5. Entering data in the Breedcow+ Breedcow worksheet
Once the Growth Path, AECalc, Prices, and Huscosts sheets have been completed, open the Breedcow worksheet, to complete the herd model and start to analyse the impact of alternative herd management strategies.
Section A: Calving and Death Rate Assumptions
This section specifies the calves weaned as a proportion of cows retained and deaths for each class of livestock where relevant. Each age group in this table is labelled with the age at both the start and end of the year and the groupings used should be the same as applied in the AE Calc worksheet. Entries for female classes up to 13/14 years of age is possible.
