The 2013 Beef Integrated Resource Management (IRM) calendars are now available at the Carroll County Extension Office!
Beef IRM calendars, or "Redbooks" as they are commonly called, are an excellent tool for cattle producers to use in their day-to-day operations. Not only does this small, 4.5" x 3" booklet include a twelve-month calendar, but it also offers charts to keep the following records:
Cow Herd Inventory
Bull Inventory
Pasture Usage
SPA Performance Measures
Calf Information & Weight Measurements
Body Condition Score Records
Analysis of Calving Activity
Calf Health Record
Weaning Data
Cow Herd Health
Cattle Treatment Record
Cattle Movement Worksheet
Cattle Sales
Summary of Death Losses
AI Breeding Record
Supplement Record
Annual Precipitation
The first several pages of the booklet include a wealth of information as well, including the 285-Day Gestation Table, Body Condition Scoring System, and Beef Quality Assurance Guidelines.
Stop by the Carroll County Extension Office to pick up your Redbook or give the office a call at (502) 732-7030 to have one sent to you. The books are available at no charge.
The Beef IRM calendars are sponsored by the Carroll County Agricultural Development Council.
