The Farm IQ Gross Margin Calculator allows you to determine the gross margin that can be achieved from a variety of farming scenarios. The calculator works for sheep, cattle and deer; and lets you compare gross margins based on grazing, selling as store, or finishing animals. Each scenario lets you input a variety of factors that will influence gross margin. These range from costs, such as transport and health treatment costs, to factors such animal growth rate and death rate. You can save your scenarios, and produce a sensitivity table demonstrating the effect on gross margin if some of the inputs were to vary.
