Abstract
A feedyard information system, and an associated method generates pooled data taken from more than one feedyard. Data elements of the pooled data are formed in manners such that the data elements are free of identifiers which specifically identify the particular feedyards from which the data elements pertain. The pooled data is provided to individual feedyards. A feedyard manager or consultant is able to access the pooled data, thereby to be able to make better-informed decisions related to operation of the feedyard and confinement-fed animals thereat.
