EC 30: Closing value methods
or “How to value your non-specified livestock at the end of the income year”
You could also call this:

“Rules for valuing additional non-specified livestock due to increased production”

If you make money from non-specified livestock, this section applies when you increase your production. This can happen if you start or restart making money from non-specified livestock, bring land into production, or buy more land to raise non-specified livestock.

As a result, you might get more non-specified livestock over one to four years. These animals must not be replacement livestock or homebred livestock, and they must be valued at their standard value.

When you get these new animals, their closing value is different for the first two years:

In the first year, the closing value is the standard value plus two-thirds of the difference between what you paid for the livestock and its standard value.

In the second year, the closing value is the standard value plus one-third of the difference between what you paid for the livestock and its standard value.

For all other years after that, the closing value is just the standard value.

                1. for the following income year, its standard value plus one-third of the difference between the cost price of the livestock and the standard value:
