I was talking abou the year, I killed 2 in March and 3 this nov...I do not know how you do your math to come up with such high numbers..
I own my land,I do not figuer cost of it into anything, because the 60 ac. of grass of the main farm, does cost me 428$ taxes last year...My cows cost me about 150$ per head a year, out of pocket , that it...That includes ivec, shots, minerals, salt, what little grain I use and hay...That is for the cows the calf and heifers are far less.
1500$ killing is for the year 5 head... about 2500 lbs of vacumn packed beef for the year
As a novice I would love you big boy to see my books, but cash is king, it aint in the books...
I got 6 ac around the house I do not cut grass but fenced it, for for about 800$ I can not tell you how much beef this little six ac. of grass can produce, but to hear most on this board, WHAT IT PRODUCED WOULD BE TOUGH, LOW QUALITY,TO EXPENSIVE,TO SMALL, WASTE of TIME, TO EVEN GROW...
I can understand some folks live so far in the stick that that a processer might not be around, no I can not come up with a good reason
why you big cattle people or small do not kill your on beef....
I am done on this trend, SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN NOT FIX STUPID
