 There are four calculators embedded within the [[Cowtrade]] program located below the summaries of runs section. Their purpose is to assist in; ''calculating the value of owned stock on the farm'', ''calculating the landed cost of purchased stock'', ''calculating net selling price of stock classes'' and ''calculating transport costs per head''.
-Note: It is not necessary to use the tools for the Cowtrade program to work, however, the tools can be useful for some background calculations if the figures are not already know to the user.

 ==Calculate the value of the owned stock on farm==
-This tool is used to calculate the current sale value of stock owned on farm. Use this calculator to work out the ''Starting value/head (net) of group'' cell in Cowtrade if the stock are owned, not purchased. If the stock are purchased then use the landed cost calculator described in the next section. The steps below outline how to use the tool shown in Figure 1.
