Welcome to StockCARE®
(previously known as Sheep for Profit®)
StockCARE® provides another choice for sheep and beef farmers who wish to make changes to grow their business
If we keep doing what we've always done we will always get what we've always had
Reluctance to change is often associated with not knowing how or what to change. Performance is a factor of ability and direction. Change is required to improve performance - farmers tend to have the ability to make change but often lack the direction. For many farmers, setting goals, targets and writing plans is difficult to do.
Fix the right problem
Would you be happy if your doctor prescribed you a stomach treatment for your heart problem? Remember the cause of the problem hardly ever shows up as one of the symptoms. You can't fix a symptom so you need to find the cause and then fix that.
It's easy to become confused by all the advertising about the "best grass species", the "best cattle breed" and the "best worm drench". These are all solutions, not well defined problems.
StockCARE® will help you understand where your business is at, help you decide where you want to be, help you set and achieve your own goals and targets using viable and practical solutions
- One of the most visible features of StockCARE® is the presentation of information in reports based on key performance indicators (KPIs) for the drivers of farm business performance.
- StockCARE® is a proven concept that is very dependent on a disciplined approach to the very old business adage "you can't manage what you don't measure".
- You get protocols and recording forms that outline the methods to collect information. These are all built into your own farm management plan which includes an animal health plan with a fortnightly reminder system
- Your data is processed and stored on a centralised database accessible only to StockCARE® participants who receive regular reports which enable detailed analysis of the drivers and outcomes of your production systems.
