Plan a livestock activity

Plan the cost of starting and maintaining a livestock activity, the production timeline and when money can reach the business.

Livestock and production · Illustration
  1. 01

    List the full costs

    Include animals, shelter, feed, water, equipment, transport and veterinary care. Obtain supplier prices and discuss the plan with a qualified livestock adviser.

  2. 02

    Map the production timeline

    Record when milk, eggs or other planned products may become available. Production only becomes cash when the output is sold and payment is received.

  3. 03

    Discuss with buyers

    Confirm quality requirements, delivery arrangements and payment dates with potential buyers. Plan how recurring feed and other costs can be met if payment is delayed.

  4. 04

    Consider difficult conditions

    Consider lower output or more expensive feed. Ask a qualified adviser about animal care and read the terms of any insurance option before choosing it.
