🐮 Cow and calf health records
🌾 Pasture usage
📊 SPA (Standardized Performance Analysis) performance measures
💰 Cattle sales
🐂 AI breeding records

…and more!

If you would like to order 2027 IRM Redbooks through the Spink County Extension Office, please contact us with the number of books you would like.

📅 Please contact the Spink County Extension Office by August 25 so we can compile our county order and meet the statewide ordering deadline.
