Abstract

The objective of this presentation is to suggest how a practicing veterinarian can go about integrating economic reality into his client services. I will concentrate on projecting the increased economic revenue associated with increasing your clients' beef herd's reproductive efficiencies. Other speakers at this conference will cover how reproductive efficiency can be increased and what it might cost to get the increased efficiencies. It will be left up to the conference participants to compare my projected increased revenues to the other speaker's projected cost increases.
