Recordkeeping is important to make management decisions for optimum cattle operation productivity and profitability, said Patrick Davis, University of Missouri Extension livestock field specialist.
Davis urges cattle producers to consider purchasing the 2025 pocket-size “Redbook” to aid in their recordkeeping. The books are available at county MU Extension centers for $8 per copy.
The calf information section contains 10 boxes to enter cow identification, calf ID, birth date, birth weight, calf sex, calving ease, etc. The books are produced by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and distributed to MU Extension centers for sale through cooperation with University of Missouri, MU Extension and the Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Program.
