A company or related firm that keeps or has kept a production herd for a trade may elect for herd-basis treatment. This provision sets rules for herd-basis and herd-sale profit calculations, including how to treat additions, replacements, sales, compensation, and elections. This provision defines several tax and financial-services terms and sets rules for how certain companies and trades are treated for corporation tax purposes.
