Standard Performance Analysis (SPA)

Standardized Performance Analysis (SPA) Software identifies ways to lower the cost of production while practicing resource stewardship. Using information gathered from production and financial records, this software program enables cattlemen to blend data to provide benchmarks like rate of return on assets, net income per cow, pounds weaned per exposed cow, grazing and feed costs per cow.

Initiated by the National cattlemen's Beef Association's (NCBA) producer-led effort, SPA is designed to help producers reduce their cost of production and improve their production and marketing efficiency.
