Release of Beef Systems Analyzer Software

Author: Kevin Bullock

Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences

Major Program: Beef

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Beef Systems Analyzer Software (www.beefsystemsanalyzer.com) program has been released for use by Kentucky beef farmers. This software was designed to guide beef farmers through a series of questions, using a logic model, to determine what practices they should be implementing on their farm to improve outcomes. The software has analyzers for many aspects of the beef operation including Basic Management, Breeding Management for Commercial Producers, Breeding Management for Seedstock Producers, Forage Management, Nutritional Management, Health Management and Reproductive Management. Once a farmer completes an analyzer they are provided recommendation of practices for improving their operation along with resources to help them implement the practices. These resources include factsheets, videos or other internet resources. Information on how farmers answer the questions can assist in developing future educational programming.
