PRODUCERS
Black Box Co helps beef producers turn raw data into clear, confident decisions.
By pulling data from multiple sources across the supply chain, Black Box brings information together into visually clear, interactive dashboards that make analysis simple and fast.
Instead of chasing spreadsheets or static carcase feedback files, your whole team can quickly explore performance across breeding, backgrounding, feedlot, processing, and genetics. The result is better forecasting, stronger decision-making, and less time spent wrangling data.
Breeder Performance
Understand what’s driving fertility across your breeder herd.
Analyse calving patterns, joining weights, and calf performance across contemporary groups, sires, dams, and breeds. Track pregnancy and weaning rates over time to identify early maturing females, high and low performers, and trends that matter.
Built for producers who value consistency, control, and doing things right.
“The decision to integrate our data with Black Box Co software has been undoubtedly one of the best business decisions we have made. It has given us the power to easily analyse our crushside and kill data and allows us to monitor herd productivity year on year.”

Backgrounding
Take control of growth, trading, and forward planning with clear backgrounding insights.
Analyse weight gain and ADG, track performance by property of origin, genetics, and purchase price, and identify high and low performers early. Link backgrounding outcomes through to feedlot and carcase performance, and forward cast animals to market month by month with confidence.
Feedlot Feedback
See how your cattle perform beyond the farm gate with clear, connected feedlot and carcase insights. Analyse weight gain, health events, and high and low performers, and understand how genetics and management decisions influence carcase outcomes.
Use this feedback to refine induction weights, pre-induction health, nutrition, and breeding decisions, lifting consistency, meeting market specs with confidence, and strengthening relationships with the buyers who matter.
Black Box Co's seamless integration enables us to swiftly and accurately determine optimal genetics within our herd, focusing on traits such as marbling, EMA, and carcase weight. These attributes are crucial not only for enhancing our operations but also for establishing our integrity as Wagyu producers, appealing to feedlots and processors alike.”

PRocessing
Link carcase and MSA data directly back to on-farm performance to see which animals delivered value and where margins were lost. Analyse carcase traits across multiple measures, understand where specifications were met or missed, and identify the most valuable animals as well as missed opportunities.
Black Box Co works closely with leading processors across Australia to ensure vital carcase feedback flows back to the producer. By linking this data to on-farm records, we support clearer decisions, stronger alignment across the supply chain, and better outcomes over time.
Base Pair Genomics
Better genetic decisions start with better data.
Base Pair Genomics gives producers direct access to DNA sampling and genomic predictions, all in one place. By linking genomic test results with on-farm performance, you can understand genetic potential earlier, reduce guesswork, and make more confident breeding decisions that drive long-term herd improvement.
