Damona Doye, Sally Dolezal and, James McGrann (2010)

Summary

Cow-Calf Standardized Performance Analysis (SPA) software was developed by producers, extension staff, and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association Integrated Resource Management Committee to analyze production and financial performance jointly. SPA is used to develop and monitor key statistics over time, providing producers with reference points on how their operation is performing physically and fiscally.
