Pasture-based Beef Enterprise Calculator Webinar
March 30 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Proving that grass works using the Pasture-based Beef Enterprise Calculator
Join GrassWorks and Farm Viability Specialist John Hendrickson in a detailed tour of the new Pasture-based Beef Enterprise Calculator. This powerful (and free!) decision support tool is structured to examine the financial returns and land requirements of beef production in typical segments or phases of the industry: cow-calf, stocker, finishing, and direct sale of meat. It can be used to look at only one segment or any combination. In addition to calculating the return in each phase on a per animal basis, the user can generate a 5-year financial forecast and estimate land requirements by entering hypothetical data on how herd numbers will change from year-to-year. Participants will learn to use this tool and the importance of planning, enterprise accounting, and record keeping and be inspired to improve their farm financial management.
John Hendrickson is with the UW-Madison Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems where he coordinates research and outreach programs in the area of farm financial management and farm financial benchmarking.
