AGRICON AFRICA - A sheep farming budget calculator

This worksheet has been compiled to assist farmers with financial planning. A number of assumptions have been made in its construction. The main assumption is that natural increases are based on "opening stock" only. This means that any purchases of breeding ewes will not automatically calculate the production of lambs. We have put this page onto the net as a practice run but will continue to fine tune and make improvements in the future.
Give this one a try by filling in the data boxes showing a zero balance only. Once this has been done, press the calculate button at the bottom of the page. Please contact us if you have any comments or suggestions that may be useful in improving this budget.

PLEASE NOTE: The above surplus/deficit may not necessarily reflect the true net profitability of the enterprise. An adjustment may need to be made to take into account possible increase or decrease in livestock numbers and categories. Market value fluctuations may have also changed over the farming period. We are currently working on a new format to take these factors into account.
