Angus Breedplan Enrolment (Optional)

ASSOCIATED HERDS

BREEDPLAN will only directly compare the performance information of calves that have been bred and weighed in the same herd. Consequently, in the situation where animals from two or more different Angus Australia memberships are being managed as part of the same herd, it may be preferable to set up a herd association with BREEDPLAN. The most common example is where members of a family (e.g. children) have a small number of animals registered in their own name that run as part of the main herd on the property.

To “associate” herds with BREEDPLAN, a primary herd will need to be nominated. Only the primary herd needs to enrol in BREEDPLAN. All animals that are owned by the associated herd/s will then be treated by BREEDPLAN as if they are in the ownership of the primary herd member (even though they are owned by different herds with Angus Australia).

MAIN CALVING PERIODS

Specifying the main calving periods of your herd allows Angus BREEDPLAN to customise the settings for your herd. This will ensure the results you receive from Angus BREEDPLAN are optimised.

For example, Angus BREEDPLAN will only directly compare the performance information of calves that have been born in the same “calving year”. Usually the calving year is the same as the year of birth of the calf. However, for herds whose calving period runs into the next calendar year (e.g. from November through to March), the “calving year” used by BREEDPLAN can be adjusted to span the period running across two different calendar years. This may be particularly applicable to herds in northern Australia that calve over the summer months.
