Heifer management in northern beef herds

This guide is the culmination of five years of valuable MLA-funded research conducted by departmental staff on heifer productivity in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The data collected clearly showed room for improvement in some regions and also great opportunities to improve reproductive performance in our breeder herd if we can get it right. Importantly the general principles and recommendations carefully constructed in this publication can be used as game plan by all beef breeders irrespective of breed or region across the entire northern beef industry. - Foreword
