Output targets can be predicted from a small number of inputs

These outputs can be determined based on the driver of the farm's production.  On each of these categories a spreadsheet is presented with allows the user to calculate a guide to predicted outcomes.  The spreadsheets are based around the batch concept - the key component to all-in/all-out.

The spreadsheets are set up for a farrowing to finish family farm - farrowing 10 sows a batch (one week) thus around a 250 sow unit.  Costings are based on WA.
