[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 191551, member: 190"] It gets a little chilly in the winter here Caustic and I use a little more fertilizer and clover to get good enough hay to keep them warm. With fertilizer, fuel, seed, check off $, semen, registrations on the herfs, taxes on the farm, fence repairs, and feed for my petting calves for 3 months and anything else I didn't single out...the commercial and registered herds averaged $128 per head. That is replacements too. Pretty high I know. But the profit from my petting calves helps the bottom line. All the equipment is paid for. But it is old enough that repairs are figured into that number. The cattle have to profit a little. At least pay the tax on the ground they call home. Can I make a living doing it this way? Yep, if it was just me and hubby. But you factor the kids into the equation and I don't think I could provide for them like I ought to with just the farm. [/QUOTE]
