Description
The Department of Animal Science at N.D.S.U. has been processing beef cattle production records sent in by NDBICA members since 1962. The charge is 20 cents per cow annually. A total of 296 different herds and 101,456 weaning weight records have been processed. In general, the average weaning weight of the calves whose weights were processed. has increased with time. The retention rate of the participating herds is fairly high. In 1977, the amount of information sent back to the producers was increased.
