- Cow-calf producers planning herd and pasture decisions
- Worth noticing
- The workflow asks users to map forage, enter herd size, weights, and calving season, then view stocking rates, forage gaps, and costs.
Field notes
The described workflow starts with drawing pastures and identifying their forage, then asks for herd size, weights, and calving season. It says the resulting view includes stocking rates, forage gaps, and costs, with calculator answers updating as numbers change. Farm Decisions, New Technologies, and Retail Beef Sales are listed as coming soon; the homepage also names an assistant, Jim, for questions about costs and prices.
