Before dawn
Farm-gate purchase
The weighman weighs a flock at the farm gate against today's announced rate, and the purchase posts as owned stock with a grower payable.
Coming soon Agriculture & Livestock
Software that prices today's shrink as its own line
For a poultry middleman buying at the farm gate of an open-shed farm or a contract shed, and reselling into the mandi and poultry shops: today's announced rate prices both ends, with the live-weight shrink in between shown as its own honest number.
Live-bird trader · from$29a month, per shopWhat is included
A working day
A day in a live-bird trader
Early morning
Birds are transported
The driver moves birds from farm to mandi, logging any death in transit along the way.
Morning
Resale weighing
Birds are re-weighed at the mandi. The difference from the farm-gate weight posts as shrink, kept apart from margin.
Through the morning
Birds are sold
Mandi buyers and poultry shops buy on cash or short credit, and the sale posts revenue and releases stock at cost.
Midday
Owner reviews the day
The owner checks today's buy rate, sell rate, shrink and net margin per lot, the way a currency trader would.
What goes wrong today
The problems it takes away
Shrink hides inside margin
Weight lost between farm-gate and mandi resale is a real cost, but it is easy to fold invisibly into a smaller, unexplained margin.
Transit deaths blend into ordinary shrink
A bird that dies in the truck is a different cost from ordinary weight loss, but the two rarely get told apart on paper.
Grower credit tracked by memory
A grower paid within a few days, not on the spot, is easy to lose track of without a proper payable ageing.
Today's margin is not visible until later
Buy rate, sell rate and shrink usually only come together into a clear margin well after the birds are sold.

Straight answers
Live-bird traders ask
Does a farm-gate purchase record as our own stock?
Planned: unlike a mandi commission agent, a live-bird trader owns the lot, and the design records it as owned stock from the purchase itself. Not built yet.
Is shrink shown separately from margin?
That is the design: shrink between farm-gate and resale weighing is meant to be its own line, never blended into margin.
Does a transit death get written off differently from ordinary shrink?
Planned, yes: a transit death is meant to write off on its own, distinct from ordinary weight loss.
Can today's margin be seen at a glance?
That is the design goal, the way a currency trader would want to see a rate move; it has not been built yet.
Do we still buy from a grower on credit?
Yes, a grower payable ages like any other payable until it is settled.
