The annual animal census at GRL averages 600 ± 50 cattle; however, actual animal numbers will vary from day to day. The GRL will provide a 30-day written notice for a requirement of change in the level of effort if animal populations and work expectations increase. A formal task modification and notification of the GRL will be required if the change in work results in an increase in costs beyond that projected in this Contract.
Animal housing on campus includes a mix of agricultural facilities (i.e., barns, pens, pasture, etc.). Facilities are normally staffed by government and contract animal husbandry staff who provide daily care and observations of all animals.
