Calculating Annual Cow Costs Webinar Series November 9, 10 and 12

Calculating Annual Cow Costs Webinar Series to be held in November

November 9th,  10th and 12th

7:30 - 9:00 p.m. CST

Knowing annual cow costs is the foundation for evaluating and making management decisions that can improve profitability for a cow-calf enterprise. Input costs are challenging producers to examine the cost of production and identify where there may be opportunities to adjust the production system. Calculating costs and breaking them into categories gives understanding of where there may be opportunity to make changes.

Nebraska Extension will be hosting a webinar series on November 9, 10 and 12 that will explain the fundamentals of knowing and calculating annual cow costs.

Topics to be covered will include:

• Understanding economic unit cost of production for the cow-calf enterprise.
• Recognizing the value and cost of both grazed and harvested feed.
• Calculating cow depreciation and replacement development costs.
• Figuring the cost of equipment and labor utilized in the cow-calf enterprise.
• Examining breeding expenses and evaluating the value and cost relationship.
• Reviewing benchmark cost and production data to see how you compare.

The webinar series is $70 per person and includes a resource workbook.  The course will be limited to 40 participants. To register go to https://go.unl.edu/cow_costs. Registration is requested by Oct 30 to ensure meeting material has time to be mailed to participants.
