These include introduction of cattle into the scheme choice of site project background and management system productive and reproductive performance of the animals on native grass and feedlot and marketing. Project achievement and its benefits to the settlers were also mentioned. Crossbreds such as Hereford/Kedah-Kelantan and Brahman/Kedah-Kelantan could adapt to the oil palm environment and performed better than pure Kedah-Kelantan cattle. Oil palm by-products produced in the scheme could also be utilized for fattening cattle under the feedlot system.
