You can enter the total number of mature cows in the milking herd under the "Mature cows (lactating and dry) including associated livestock" category and the animal units will be calculated by multiplying this number by 2. This calculation assumes 85 lactating, 15 dry, 12 heifers (0 to 3 months), 36 heifers (4 to 13 months) and 50 heifers (> 13 months) for an operation with 100 mature cows. "Associated livestock" includes all of the heifer calves and replacement heifers. Alternatively, you can enter animal numbers in the individual categories (mature cows, heifers (0 to 3 months), heifers (4 to 13 months) and heifers (> 13 months)) and they will be summed at the bottom of the table. Bulls and veal calves are always calculated separately. For all other livestock or operation types please inquire with your Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives GO office to determine the animal units per head. 7/4/2015 9:47 PM
