Two adjacent paddocks of 200 cattle. Same mob, same ration, same batch, same contractor, same weather. One difference: the trough in Paddock B carries a TPS50 Croc Trough Pump. Everything measured over the 70 days appears on this page as it is recorded, including the things that go wrong. No selective reporting, and raw data published at the end.

Measurement streams Click any stream to see exactly what is recorded, how, and by whom

How to read this page. The weather panel is live data from the site. Every other stream is listed with the parameters it will carry, the method, the responsible partner and the date it begins. Once a stream is connected its current figures appear here and each one opens to its full history: an ear tag opens that animal's whole weight record, a clean date opens every clean for that trough, a delivery opens every delivery to date. Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or back-filled.
