Abstract

Successful technology transfer and the implementation of improved practices for livestock breeding, pasture development and livestock marketing have resulted from whole-of-enterprise modelling and financial analysis. Beef producers are able to identify opportunities for improving enterprise profitability, evaluate financial outcomes of options and confidently implement practices once they have had a learning experience which demonstrates, by simulation, the profitability and affordability of the innovation. Herd models are used to compute performance indicators/ benchmarks for comparing "with and without change" options while action learning groups identify opportunities and cash flow budgets determine the financial feasibility of options. A number of case studies are presented.
