Regular calving and calf rearing are critical for profitable beef production. This guide identifies key management issues that can help beef producers and animal advisers to maximise the performance of Australian animals in South East Asia.

These issues include feeding cows appropriately to get into calf, recognising when the cow is ready to mate and recognising and treating problems that arise in the cow and calf at and after calving.

This field guide also complements the Manual for South-East Asian cattle feedlots and the Cattle feedlot treatment guide - A guide to the management and treatment of sick animals in South East Asian feedlots.
