The final reproductive output of the breeding herd — calves dropped or marked against a female baseline (either cows joined or PTIC).
South-west Victorian beef herds average about 88% calves marked per cow joined (top 20% ~89%); nationally the range is 70–85%.
EverGraze / SW Farm Monitor ↗Comparing across the joined → PTIC → marked → weaned chain lets you distinguish a failure to conceive from gestational loss, from calf mortality at or soon after birth — so you fix the right problem.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Boost third-trimester nutrition to reduce fetal loss and maternal issues.
Select bulls with high calving-ease and low birthweight EBVs to reduce dystocia.
Remove paddock hazards and manage wild dog or dingo predation before calving.
