[QUOTE="Midtenn, post: 1556433, member: 24781"] It varies some year to year but working on taxes right now and it's looking to be about the same. Per cow cost: Hay $175 Grass $100 (doesn't matter rented or own it cost $100 in rent or $100 in taxes, fertilizer and spray on owned land) Fuel $30 (trucks and tractors combined) Equipment repairs,tires, batteries, etc. $40 on average year (this year was a bad one it worked out to $100 per cow) we run older farm trucks and tractors. No payments. Feed and mineral $100 Vaccines, wormer, and other vet $25 Water and electric $8 Misc cost. (Fence repairs, replacing damaged hay rings, troughs, expendable tools, etc. $12 Loss in value of bulls assuming bulls all survive and can be sold as killers $10 per cow Total cost average year = around $500 per cow. ( reg. cows add $120 for a.i., AAA, DNA, etc) Additional $60 per weaned calf if calves are back grounded 60 days = $560 These numbers are based on a 100 cow herd Hay, grass, mineral, feed, and vet won't change very much with smaller or larger numbers but a little savings is realized when buying feed in bulk, vaccines and wormer in larger doses, etc. Equipment repairs, fuel, and misc. cost can change dramatically on a per cow basis depending if you have 20 or 200 cows it can make a huge difference.
