The update of the Overseer model to version 6.5.10 updates the methodology for determining grass fed status to align it with the “New Zealand Dairy Grass-Fed Administrative Standard” and the “New Zealand Meat Grass-Fed Administrative Standard” issued by MPI in June 2025

The updates to the model and the software address:

• Alignment of grass-fed calculations with the new MPI standards
• Extension of grass-fed calculations across all enterprise types
• Grass-fed reporting enhanced in the “Animal Reports” section of each farm analysis
• Grass-fed reporting added to the Milk pool reporting, Milk Platform and Red Meat Platform reporting
• Updates to some DM and ME coefficients

As part of our OverseerFM service, all farm analyses were updated to version 6.5.10 where the farm account had a current paid subscription. All publications were also updated, as were OverseerSci and OverseerEd software services.
