[QUOTE="firestormboergoats, post: 343351, member: 814"] Here is what I have so far $11 per animal per month--$36k year 300 head--cow/calf pair=1 head 1 bull per 20 head cows Looking at having to borrow at least 300K on a short term note just to cover livestock, using my own cash to pay for portable pens, meds, etc. Lease length is 41 months w/ a possible 3 year extension. My thoughts--buy pairs or 3-n-1's to get some positive cash flow as soon as possible. Lease payments are due yearly. Plenty of pasture so feed should be minimum. At 95% weaning rate (280 cows--266 calves) at $550 dollars a head I come up w/ $146300. This is where I lose the math. With the numbers I read on here you only make $100-250 if you know what you are doing so $26600 to $66500. Minus the lease payment and on the low end no money? I understand that I still have the original cattle to sell at the end so I see a profit there just not during the terms of the lease [/QUOTE]
