BUDGETS

Budgets are a good way of testing different scenarios without spending any money.  Here is an interactive web site that you can enter your own numbers in and it will generate a flock budget.  You can enter some numbers now and see what happens or you can come back to it after you have checked out more of the web site. By using this Sheep Enterprise Budget, you can look at any number of different size or types of operations.  Of course, if your goal is to raise some sheep regardless of the cost, you can just ignore budgets.

Here are explanations of budget entries with a suggestion of what might be a reasonable number to put in. (This will open in a new window so you can refer to it while using the interactive budget - you may find it easier to print a copy to use.)
