Our Services
Feedlot Consulting
We strive to be the industry leaders in providing sound, independent consulting advice that maximises profitability of our client's feed yards.
Staff Training
Training and retaining staff are key priorities for clients in feedlots throughout Australia. Modular staff training is presented on-site during visits on a variety of topics. The aim is to provide simple, effective training to staff members, which they can utilise on a day to day basis in the feed-yard.
Benchmarking
Internal and external benchmarking of feedlot cattle performance and operational efficiency is essential to understand opportunities for improvement in operational efficiency and profitability. All benchmarking data is strictly confidential.
Performance Prediction
Predicting performance of feedlot cattle is vital to making accurate purchasing decisions on cattle and profit/loss projection. As a feedlot contributes data to Nutrition Service Associates, customised break-even calculators for a feedlot can be constructed based on long-term seasonal trends and characteristics of the incoming cattle.
Research and Development
Dr. Holt's strong research background sets the consultancy apart in it's ability to provide sound advice on research and development.
