Options to boost recovery
Herd and flock rebuilding
Being understocked reduces your potential income. Rebuilding your herd or flock is one strategy for utilising the vacant DSE capacity during the recovery period and enhancing income generation per hectare. Rebuilding can be achieved by breeding back and buying in replacement breeders.
Before adopting any rebuilding option, it’s important to carefully consider the following questions:
Am I better off breeding my own replacements or should I buy in replacement stock as well?
What is the maximum price I should pay for replacement stock?
Should I buy young or older replacement stock?
