Using information from this unit, create a production system plan and timeline.

Your production system plan should include the intended market and the number of animals you will need to supply this market for one year.
2. Using a calendar template develop a production schedule to accomplish your plan. Consider these elements:

  - If you are breeding your own animals, include this schedule.
  - Start with the date you want the products ready for the customer.
  - If you will be selling for particular holidays or farmers market, those dates should be on the calendar.
  - Don’t forget to include processing time.
