Commercial reproductive rates vary widely between production systems. Many commercial herds fall somewhere between 70% and 90%, but appropriate targets depend on breed, environment and management.
Reproductive rate here is calves weaned divided by females joined, the measure that captures every loss between joining and weaning, not just empty cows. Built on this year's mob, figures are indicative only. A RaynerAg tool.
