Herd Economics

DTC Herd Value Calculator

"What is my herd actually worth if I sell direct instead of at auction?"

Enter your head count, live weight, and current auction price. The calculator runs three DTC pricing tiers β€” Low, Mid, and High β€” after every variable cost: kill fee, processing, cold chain, shipping, and fulfillment. You see what you'd net DTC versus what you're netting today.

What you get
DTC net at 3 price tiers Auction net today Full cost breakdown Boxes produced $/box revenue Extra $ vs. auction

Beef Share Calculator

"What do I charge for a quarter, half, or whole beef β€” and what does each buyer receive?"

Toggle between take-home and hanging weight pricing. Get the exact buyer price, rancher net, and cut breakdown for every share size.
