Dynama+

The Dynamaplus program uses the current herd structure and numbers as a starting point to plot the likely future cash flow, profit and debt servicing capacity of a "dynamic" cattle enterprise. The program can model changes in herd structure, financial and economic performance in ten year blocks.

The Dynamaplus program starts with actual stock numbers on hand to develop its budgets. This is very unlike the “steady state” imagined in Breedcowplus program.

The program calculates expected herd numbers for each annual period based on the expected brandings, deaths and sales within the period and calculates herd cash flow. The outputs are based on the expectation of future prices and animal performance provided by the manager of the enterprise.

Dynamaplus is therefore used to consider the capacity of a beef cattle herd to manage debt, undertake development or recover from a sudden production or economic shock. It is commonly used to either prepare a budget for current operations or consider the implementation of change over time.

The Dynamaplus program is comprised of six core worksheets - Growth Path, AECalc, Prices, Huscosts, Assets and Dynama.
