G87-851 Improving Reproductive Performance And Productivity Of Beef Herds, Gene H. Deutscher
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
NebGuide discusses management practices that can be used to improve reproduction and productivity of beef herds. The major objective of cow-calf producers should be to wean a calf from each cow every year. The average calf crop weaned in Nebraska is estimated at 80 calves weaned per 100 cows in breeding herds. A realistic goal is 90 to 95 calves weaned per 100 cows.
