can get instructions in general for the spreadsheet
TO BEGIN: Use the yellow fields on the KYGRAZE sheet to enter
your plans and data. Data are entered in four separate
sections. The cattle data section is located in cells
A3:C27 and contains information about purchase weight
price and date of the cattle to be grazed. This section also
asks for an expected sale price. An expected sale weight is
calculated based on purchase date, expected sale date, and
expected average daily gain.
The second section of the input screen is for information
regarding feed and pasture use and is located in cells
F3:G16. Pasture costs are to be entered in $/acre while
other supplemental feed expenses are to be entered in
$/head.
The third secion of the input screen is for the entry of
cash expenses other than feed and is located in cells
I3:J18. All cash expenses are to be entered on a $/head
basis. Just below this section is the fourth section of the
input screen. This area is for the entry of fixed costs.
Fixed costs are to be entered as totals for the entire
operation rather than on a $/head or $/acre basis.
RESULTS: A summary of the budget results is presented on the
SUMMARY sheet. This section provides a summary of
the information provided on the input screen. In ad-
dition, calculation of costs and returns is performed.
Pasture costs, total cash costs, and non-calf cash
costs are reported. This sheet also provides an econ-
omic analysis of the grazing program including break-
even selling price, gross returns, returns over cash
costs, and returns over all costs (I.e., returns to land
and management). Finally, a brief production summary
reports weight gain, cash costs per head, and feed
cost per pound of gain.
A monthly summary of the grazing program is reported
on the MONTHLY sheet. This sheet provides a pro-
duction risk chart which reveals how break-even selling
price will be affected by different levels of average
daily gain. A montly cost and returns table shows how
calf weight, variable costs, and break-even price change
throughout the grazing period.
PRINTING This program contains three print routines. To print
the summary of the budget information and the econ-
omic analysis, hold down the CTRL key and hit "a".
To print the monthly production risk and cost and
returns tables, hold down the CTRL key and hit "b".
To print the input sheet (KYGRAZE), hold down the
CTRL key and hit "c".

* USING GRAZEKY TO HELP IN DECISION MAKING ***
GRAZEKY is most useful for helping you create a budget for
ur grazing enterprise and for conducting "what if's".
"what if" is simply looking at the changes that come about
hen one or more other variables are changed. For example,
hat if - the calves only gain 1.3 pounds per day instead
the 1.5 pounds expected?" Profits in grazing depend on
od planning and consideration of the unexpected.
The following list are some of the items that should be
nsidered in your analysis:
URCHASE PRICE RATE OF GAIN DEATH LOSS SALE PRICE
URCHASE WEIGHT GRAZING PERIOD PASTURE COSTS
UPPLEMENTAL FEED CATTLE TYPE HEALTH PROGRAM
Most of these items should not be considered individually.
r example, pasture cost should be evaluated along with
anges in gain from a better pasture.
