We'll be working on a livestock price transparency report for vaccines & meds as well as feed & supplements. If you'd like to get early access to the analysis, please send PDF or pics of your invoices to data@farmersbusinessnetwork.com.
If you'd like to stay informed on our livestock research and initiatives, just follow this thread.
