Once all the information has been recorded, captured and cross-checked it must be passed into the relevant role players. On most farms, this information will be passed on to the producer or the farm manager.
Always ensure that information that is passed on is relevant and concise. Information should be captured and relayed in such a manner that the information can be used with the minimum of input from the farm manager or producer. On most farms, graphs will be used to track the development and growth of individuals and groups of cattle on the farm.
If the information is not passed on to the correct person timeously, decisions critical to the effectiveness and profitability of the enterprise might be delayed or not made at all. It is therefore important that any enterprise design and implement procedures whereby information that has been collected are passed on regularly to support and facilitate the decision-making process on the farm.
