Pig finishing in Kenya: Planning Worksheets and Source Register
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to pig finishing.
This is a planning reference for pig finishing. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional pig-finishing cash ledger for six purchased pigs over 120 days, with a sample accepted sale of 480 live kilograms in total. That weight is an accounting assumption, not a growth target or carcass weight. Obtain the intended processor's current purchase order, identity, inspection and documentation requirements before sourcing animals. A Farmers Choice procurement page is a buyer-specific reference to ask about, not proof that this batch qualifies or that a particular price will be paid.
A prefilled brief to adapt
| Record field | Teaching entry or business-specific prompt |
|---|---|
| Guide and case reference | 0066 — invented planning case |
| Buyer group | Livestock traders or processors with clear specifications. |
| Output and boundary | Finish pigs for an identified buyer and suitable premises. |
| Charging basis | animal or agreed weight |
| Input suitability | Qualified source/health assessment and current buyer terms precede payment. |
| Final acceptance gate | 480 live kg is used only if the actual accepted ticket supports it; no live-to-carcass conversion is invented. |
| Unresolved evidence | Current processor terms and veterinary/movement requirements need direct confirmation. |
Carry the same reference through the documents
- Buyer brief: approved specification, exclusions, authority and delivery window.
- Supplier comparison: actual quote, matched specification, quantity, landed cost, expiry and buying check.
- Work and acceptance card: actual observations, accepted/held/rejected output, changes and correction references.
- Cash ledger: invoice, advance, credits, collections, balance and date due.
- Decision note: evidence, unresolved limits, responsible person and next review point.
An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0066: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 480 priced units at KSh 220.00 each. Buyer group: Livestock traders or processors with clear specifications. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 480 x KSh 220.00 = KSh 105,600.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 87,600.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 18,000.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 31,680.00. The invoice balance is KSh 73,920.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 55,920.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
These sample entries are not your actual job records. Keep names, contacts and payment references in private copies. The paid pack contains offline editable costing, operations and cash-planning tools; this public sheet explains how the records connect.
