[QUOTE="Terrell, post: 584327, member: 8533"] You are right on that most cattle software programs don't handle accounting very well - it's really not cost effective to reinvent the wheel when QuickBooks works so well. We find that many of our more business-oriented producers will keep their production records in CattleMax and then export purchases and sales to Excel and then import the spreadsheet into QuickBooks. I've worked with several ag economists at Texas A&M and Oklahoma State over the past few years and they all recommend using QuickBooks for financial records. Here's a link to a Beef Magazine article from last Fall on accounting software ([url]http://beefmagazine.com/business/computer_savvy_accounting/[/url] that may help. I would imagine you could contact some of these extension personnel and see if they could provide you with a sample chart of accounts. You may also find helpful a book called The QuickBooks Farm Accounting Cookbook at [URL]http://www.amazon.com/dp/0967308305/?tag=cattletoday00-20[/URL]. Terrell [/QUOTE]
