Decide and Thrive managing culling of livestock in drought

Decide and Thrive helps producers and consultants determine which breeders to cull during drought.

This resource is for Merino Producers in Southern Australia.

When managing for drought, producers are faced with decisions about:

  • when and how many animals to sell; and
  • if selling breeders, which attributes are best to use for culling decisions.

Decide and Thrive addresses the question of which breeders to cull.
