Mating reports are generated weekly throughout the mating period. During the first three weeks, the key focus is achieving a 90% submission rate, a critical target linked to a high 6-week in-calf rate.
Your Planned Start of Mating (PSM) date is shown in the top-right corner of the report. If this is incorrect, please call 0800 243 282 to have it updated.
