Idea details:

I use a ton of math when filling out my 4-H Beef Project Record Book. I have to measure my steer's heart girth with a tape, fill in charts, tables and graphs with the weight and cost of his feed each day, and total those amounts before using division to figure out things like his rate of gain per day and if I've made any profit after I sell him.
