Key findings from the CashCow project

  • How can you accurately measure how your breeders are performing?
  • Why do some mobs perform well while others don’t?
  • Why do some females readily become pregnant after calving and wean a calf while others take much longer, or fail to wean a calf?

CashCow was a three-year research project investigating the fertility of ~78, 000 breeders from 75 commercial beef enterprises across northern Australia.

Guest speakers

  • Dr Geoffry Fordyce, Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation
  • Professor Michael McGowan, University of Queensland
  • Mr Dave Smith, Department of Agriculture and Fisheries
