Animal Disposal List (ADL)/Cull Sheets
This is a preprinted list of all females in a breeders herd. A breeder is required to cull, using the appropriate cull codes, any dam no longer part of the breeding herd. These are sent late October and form the basis of the Calf Return and also the female fee numbers for billing.

Tips
> Ensure cull codes are appropriate and be consistent when using them.
> Ensure the ADL meets the cut-off date, to avoid being billed for culled animals.
