Breeders who are focused on animal performance are generally aiming to produce the highest number of superior offspring possible. That means understanding which genetics are working, improving fertility rates, and reducing mortality.
If you’re asking yourself:
“What is my weaning rate?”
“Which dams consistently produce my best performers?”
“Where am I losing animals and why?”
“Should I be culling earlier?”
Then capturing the right records and reviewing the right reports can help turn those questions into measurable improvements.
Turning Records into Results
When key records such as Pregnancy Scans, Birth, Marking, Weaning, and Death events are kept up to date, they begin to tell a much bigger story about your breeding program.
For IAM users, including parentage through CSV import adds another layer of insight allowing you to connect performance back to genetics.
From there, the following reports will help move a collection of records, into usable insights.
What Should You Be Looking For?
As you review these reports, consider questions like:
Are certain mobs achieving higher birthing rates than others?
Do particular sires consistently produce stronger weaning weights?
Are first-calvers performing differently to mature breeders?
Is mortality concentrated in specific paddocks, seasons, or management groups?
Which dams repeatedly underperform?
These insights allow you to adjust management decisions with confidence. If you need help getting started or get stuck along the way, definitely contact our Support Team and we'll give you a hand to extract this type of information.
