2 RECORD KEEPING 101 Production Operational Financial Analysis 2

3 PRODUCTION/PERFORMANCE Whole Herd vs. Individual Animal Reproductive and growth performance data 3

4 WHOLE HERD PRODUCTION Standardized Performance Analysis (SPA) Allow comparison from herd to herd 7 critical measurements for evaluating herd efficiency 1. SPA adjusted females exposed 2. Pregnancy rate 3. Calving rate 4. Percent calf death loss 5. Percent weaned calves 6. Average weaning weight 7. Pounds of weaned calf/cow exposed 4

5 1. SPA adjusted females exposed 1. Adjusted herd numbers for sale/purchase of cows & heifers 2. Pregnancy rate = Checked pregnant SPA adjusted females exposed x Calving rate = Live calves SPA adjusted females exposed x % calf death loss = Dead calves Calves born x % weaned calves = Live calves weaned SPA adjusted females exposed x 100 Primary reproductive efficiency measure 6. Average weaning weight Most observed Doesn t reflect efficiency 7. Lb of weaned calf/cow exposed = lbs of calf weaned SPA adjusted females exposed Critical measure of efficiency 5
