For over 25 years, Eddy County Extension Service has supplied the IRM red book. Cattlemen have used the IRM Redbook to track the profitability of their cow-calf operations. These pocket-sized record books provide an effective way to keep better production records. The primary use of the IRM Redbook is to record calving information and daily production activities. The Redbook also provides over 100 pages to record calving activity, herd health, pasture usage and cattle inventory, plus an annual calendar and notes/address section. It offers special features, such as body condition scoring section, summary of death loss section, calving section and cattle treatment record. Included are Beef Quality Assurance national guidelines and proper injection technique information. As well as a pocket calendar.
