Data Collection Tips #2
by Joe Mask | Published April 8, 2019
We recommend that our members and Beefmaster breeders do the following at weaning time…
- Collect weaning weight on calves
– Calves should be between 140 and 270 days old when weaning weights are recorded
– Contemporary groups are formed by calves born within 60 days of each other
- Collect mature cow weight and Body Condition Score on cows (this should be recorded with BBU when completing the calf’s registration)
- Submit and record weaning weights with BBU using the online system or weaning worksheet
