Calculate - backward from a projected fed-cattle price while including normal or expected feedlot costs to arrive at the value of the cattle upon entering the feedlot.

Assist - buyer and seller in establishing a breakeven price at the time the calves or feeders are being sold or entered into joint ownership.

Project - potential carcass quality of the cattle and also adjust the values that are being paid for quality grade, yield grade and weight.
