[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1383499, member: 25884"] And if he has 50 cows that wean a calf and it brings 500 ea that's 25,000 so he would fall short of the minimum you are suggesting. Plus the expense to buy them but hopefully they would have a salvage value, so it would be a wash but that would not recoup the initial investment the first year but should be able to by the third year plus still maybe able to keep back say 5 heifers a year for replacements to increase the herd , although it would decrease the initial income to 22,500. So, that is why I was suggesting some feeders and fewer cows to start to give a quicker return on investment and was trying to figure the barest minimum so that anything more would be a plus, and allow for a learning curve.
