title: NCA-IRM desk record.
abstract: Cost of production will remain the primary focus for the cattle industry for years to come. Having accurate detailed records to generate this information will improve the decision-making process for managers. Certainly, the statement "if you do not measure it, you cannot manage it" will be more evident in the future. Providing good tools to record the measurements will be important to the industry. The IRM will continue to work to fill this need.
