[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1556456, member: 32659"] . I had some higher than usual cost on the old feed truck this year. Tires $850, Clutch $900, new leaf springs and shocks $900, tune up $150, and added a used hay bed and feeder $5,500. Not sure how to figure that stuff in. Tires were 10 years old and the truck is 20 years old. Been feeding with it for 5 yrs now so maybe prorate it to $560 a year. Cows could care less how they get hay but to me the hay bed is best thing I’ve bought in years. I really believe you don’t know the true cost of something until you sell it anyway. I bought a tractor one time for $38,500 sold it 5 yrs later for $500, did it cost me $38,500 or $500? I don’t keep up with every dime I spend but I still don’t think I’m at more than $400 to raise a calf to weaning size. Definitely not losing money year after year. [/QUOTE]
