When beef cows are managed at a body condition score of 3.0 (out of a 5-point scale), they will return to estrus post-calving more quickly, produce higher quality milk, have a better calving rate and improve profitability. 🧰 Try the BCRC Body Condition Scoring Tool to understand how body condition impacts the profitability of your herd at https://lnkd.in/dwrhWwh3. 🖥️ Watch this quick video on how and why you should body condition score so you’re able to manage thin and over-conditioned animals separately: https://lnkd.in/dzh5vB6R

This month's newsletter (34th) focusses heavily on safety on cattle farms, in support of WorkSafe Victoria's recently launched cattle safety campaign. Our industry is not an inherently dangerous industry - many of the risks are manageable risks. There are elements of safety within the industry that do have an inherent risk attached to them, such as weather and ground conditions, and the unpredictable behaviour of animals fits into this category. But, even allowing for that risk factor, there are a number of things that cattle farmers can do to ensure that they, their employees, contractors, vetinarians, livestock agents and livestock transport drivers leave their farms safely every day. Good yards, good yard design, good crushes, good loading ramps are important engineering controls. Training workers in safe cattle handling and ensuring adequate supervision are important administrative controls. It is the least we can do!

Application of agritech to poduce outcomes. There has been much discussion on agritech in this forum, pretending to introduce something new. The reality is that the agriculture sector has been researching and applying technologies to improve farmer’s profitability for decades. Much of the cost of this R&D has been paid for by producers themselves. https://lnkd.in/gE2BBw2m

Today we're launching the ruumi Feed Budget Planner to a selected audience to help farmers take better grazing decisions, reduce supplementary feed, and improve their top soil 🌱 What does it do? Well thanks for asking! 😄 - It visualizes the demand of animal groups and adjust based on goals over a period of time. It could be lambing/calving periods which is important so that the animals get enough feed with the right nutrition that the grass can offer. - With the assigned fields in the rotation, farmers can see their grass supply and know where to move the animal next with the use of our complementary Grass Wedge. - With both demand and supply visualized in one single place, farmers can make decisions such as whether they need to add more fields to the rotation, buy additional feed, or be more realistic about goals when it comes to animal weight gain. All of these, in a single tool from ruumi.io! Imagine the 💰 farmers can save and the time to decide which fields to place the animals next to optimize for both growth and expense! Kudos to Andrey Enavin who is the genius behind this feature. Interested to find out what we’re up to next? Watch the ruumi page (https://lnkd.in/dvU-pCH2) for more updates or get in touch with us!
