Grazier’s Toolbox – Lamb Meat Production & Sheep Herd Growth Calculator
Relevant to any meat operation producing goat and lambs for sale, this is a practical “one-stop-shop” tool to use for harvest tracking, processing/yield record-keeping, as well as pricing and margin analysis. It can be used to weigh options for profitable cuts based on actual harvest numbers, carcass yields and by testing out various prices and margins across multiple revenue channels. The calculator also accounts for comparing options for full cut-out versus halves or quarters. It affords an in-depth look at calculating yield post-processing, from live weight through cut-out decisions, and how best to keep track of harvest numbers to create ranch benchmarks and standards over time.
