About this ebook
It is clear that many farmers could benefit from better knowledge of research information. Therefore, the aim in this book is to provide better access to research information from various sources that is pertinent to managing grazing beef cattle in southern Australia. In beef production, the cost of production is commonly at least half the gross return so that any improvement in efficiency, such as use of a better calving season, can commonly have at least double the percentage effect on profit that it has on gross return.
