This MCP server provides specialized calculation engines for determining the value loss of breeding livestock. It bridges the gap between biological lifecycles and financial accounting by supporting both purchased stock and raised stock bases. Use get_annual_depreciation to find yearly value loss, get_accumulated_depreciation to track total value lost over time, or simulate_herd_valuation to project total herd value considering culling rates and replacement costs.

What is the annual depreciation for a cow purchased for $2000 with a salvage value of $500 after 5 useful years using straight line?

The annual depreciation is $300.00, and the remaining book value after the first year is $1700.00.

How much total depreciation has accumulated after 3 years for an animal with a $1500 basis and $400 salvage value using declining balance?

The total accumulated depreciation after 3 years is $850.00, leaving a current book value of $650.00.

Simulate a herd starting at $10,000 with a 10% culling rate and $1,200 replacement cost for 3 years.

In year 1, the herd value is $10,200. In year 2, it is $10,380. In year 3, it is $10,542.

The model uses the 'raised cost' as the basis, which includes nutrition, veterinary care, and labor costs accrued until the animal reaches breeding age.
