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