Bullocks

The Bullocks program does for non-breeding cattle what the Cowtrade program does for breeder groups. Although the focus of the Bullocks program is on selecting the most profitable turnover cattle, it may also be used to evaluate forced sales options. The gross margins calculated in the Bullocks program for non-breeders may be compared with the gross margin for breeders as calculated in the Cowtrade program if they are compared on a per adult equivalent after interest or capital invested basis. The Bullocks program requires data for purchase and sale dates, weights, prices (landed and net respectively), expected mortalities, variable costs, interest rate and purchase and sale price increments for the sensitivity tables.
