Livestock farming business calculators
Online tools to give you a snapshot of how changes in feed, forage and other costs for beef cattle and sheep will affect your net margins
Introduction
Our partners at EBLEX, the organisation for English beef and lamb levy payers, have provided a range of ‘What If?’ calculators. These tools can give you a handy snapshot of how changes to financial situations, such as increased feed prices, and physical conditions, such as improved fertility, can have an impact on the performance of your farm business. The caluculator lets you input your own figures relating to your on farm costs and see the impact on both gross and net margins.
