This app has everything I need in one place, and it’s simple, user friendly layout is super easy to use. This app has eased the stress of managing my business, and I highly recommend it to anyone who asks. Just really impressed and I plan on using it for all future purchases.

First of all, app does not have options for weaning lambs in August or September.
Also, app assumes a 1/2lb per day gain all year long. Lambs don’t gain 1/2lb per day in summer and often gain more than 1/2 lb/day in winter. So default should be 1/4 lb/day in the four hottest months, 1/2lb/day in spring and fall, and 6/10 lb/day in winter.
Finally, should be an option for customizing lb/day of gain. Stockmen can easily dial in a gain rate to hit the top of the yearly market, but this app does not allow for such planning. For instance, if I am weaning 40lb lambs in July, I want them growing slowly for several months and then push them hard for last 45 days and wind up marketing a 100 lb prime lamb in December. This app does not allow for such customization.

I have owned goats my entire life and no app has ever been this functional! Will never use another app again!
About Lamb & Goat Market Forecast
This application is designed for Texas sheep and goat producers to predict the change in value of light weight slaughter lambs and kid goats. The program requires producers to designate the month they intend to sell their animals, the weight of the animals, and cost of gain if they were to retain ownership. Thereafter, the application uses market data collected from Producers Livestock Auction Co. in San Angelo, TX dating back to 2010 to predict change in value (Marginal Revenue) based on month, weight gain, and cost of gain. The application does not forecast actual prices, but rather estimates the change in per head value that normally occurs in the market based on month and market weight. The application also reports the current value ($/Hd) and market price ($/Cwt.) and has a link to USDA-Agricultural Marketing Service reports, so that producers can easily assess current market conditions.
