The Cattle Value Discovery System (CVDS) was developed for use in individual cattle management for growing beef cattle. The CVDS provides (1) prediction of daily gain, incremental cost of gain and days to finish to optimize profits and marketing decisions while marketing within the window of acceptable carcass weights and composition, (2) predictions of carcass composition during growth to avoid discounts for under or over weight carcasses and excess backfat, and (3) allocation of feed fed to pens to individual animals for the purpose of sorting of individuals into pens by days to reach target body composition and maximum individual profitability (Tedeschi et al., 2004).
