TAKESTOCK
RESOURCES
TakeStock is an exciting benchmarking tool for the beef seedstock industry.
It collates BREEDPLAN and Selection Index information to provide cattle
breeders with a report that empowers them to assess and improve the rate
of genetic progress in their herds. TakeStock reports provide eligible
Breedplan members with figures for key variables that affect the rate
of genetic improvement being made for breeding objectives. A series of
eight one day TakeStock workshops have recently been completed across
Australia. To further assist members to understand and use their TakeStock
reports web-based support resources are being developed. [Click
