Business Pointers 2011

Welcome to EBLEX Business Pointers for 2011.

These annual figures have become the industry standard by which English beef and lamb producers can benchmark their performance on costs of production.

We collect and publish costings data from a cross-section of sheep and cattle enterprises in England, allowing individuals to compare their own performance and look at areas where there is scope for improvement.

You can download a pdf of the full Business Pointers report for 2011 here. In addition, below you can download 2011 cost per kilogram and cost per head figures for different enterprises:
