Southern systems
For higher-rainfall and winter-rainfall country: SA, Victoria, Tasmania, southern NSW and southern WA. Mostly British and European breeds, seasonal joining, spring or autumn calving.
Start with the stage you're dealing with now
Each stage explains what to watch for, the nutrition that helps, and where LivestockIQ fits.
A calf every 12 months means getting cows back in calf within about 80 days.
Most of the calf is grown in the last three months. So is next year's calf.
A cow with a calf at foot needs at least twice the energy she did before calving.
Grass tetany strikes when the feed looks its best.
A 400 kg steer can lose 25 kg in the first 6 hours off feed and water.
The first four weeks in the feedlot carry the most risk. Preparation starts at home.
What cattle need by class and season, and where the southern gaps usually are.
