Find your cull rate on the top line under Yearly Cull Rate
Then located the desired improvement percentage under Improvement
The number in the chart indicates the number of cows that can be saved
That number from the chart can be submitted into the savings calculation in Step 4.

BOVINE BEACON usage will have a higher success rate, but the successful A.I. amount is used for this calculation.
