Cull Calculator by Barnyard Boss

Should you keep them,
or sell them now?

Put in what they're worth, what they'll cost to carry, and what you think they'll bring later. This works out which choice leaves you better off, and shows every step. Free, nothing to sign up for, and nothing leaves your phone.

To spring, to the next sale, to weaning.

Hay, grain, minerals — your cost, not a book figure.

Vet, pasture rent, yardage, your labour.
$
Be honest. This is the number people get wrong.
$
Milk or eggs by the month, wool by the year, a calf as a one-off total. Leave at zero if none.
%
Death, injury, anything that takes them out of the plan. Small but not zero.

Purchase or raising cost, plus feed and vet to date.
The arithmetic says

Sell them now

Carry them

What would change the answer

What this does not know

That took eight numbers,
for one animal, this month.

Barnyard Boss already knows all eight for every head you own — because it has been keeping the cost as it happened. It runs this same arithmetic on your whole herd, and it still has last month's when you want to compare.

Free to keep records. You only pay if you want the arithmetic.
