The Wealthy Rancher Calculator
Pasture/Cow Calf Returns

The Wealthy Rancher Calculator will assist you, using profit centres as the foundation, in gaining financial control of your pasture/yearling business. It is designed to help graziers control their money flow where to go rather than trying to figure out where it went. Each operation is unique, as each grazier is unique. However, the questions are the same:

  • What is pasture worth?
  • What is my cost/lb. gain on pasture?
  • What should I pay to rent or buy pasture?

The Wealthy Rancher Calculator will divide your farm into profit centres, treat each one as a separate business, and let you know where you are making money. Profit centres are the foundation for much of the economic analysis in grazing management. Whether you are a landowner, a custom grazier, or a livestock producer, allocating your own figures (expenses as well as revenues) in this manner, can help you assess the financial situation of any segment of your business.
