[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1543695, member: 4362"] I'm not a rancher so I look at things differently and my cost per cow isn't anywhere near these but cattle are but one facet of what I do with the land so I prefer to look at things from a per acre cost/profit and by doing it this way I'm able to compare apples to apples when comparing the best use of the land. Was talking with a friend this weekend who is looking at possibly getting out of "cattle" and it quickly became apparent that he was going to incur a significant cost if he didn't have cattle to keep things "groomed". Granted there were alternatives but none of them seemed as appealing as keeping the cattle. Not arguing with the numbers posted because I'm well aware you can spend all you want to on a cow and a cow will eat all the feed and mineral you can afford to feed it but it doesn't have to be that way - just saying cattle can be a cheap grounds crew.
