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 — Low, Mid, and High — 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

Beef Share Calculator
"What do I charge for a quarter, half, or whole beef — and what does each buyer receive?"
Select your breed and the calculator pre-fills live weight, dressing %, and cut yield. Add your kill fee, processing cost, and production program (NAE, grass-finished, organic, and more). Toggle between take-home and hanging weight pricing. Get the exact buyer price, rancher net, and cut breakdown for every share size.
