[QUOTE="skyline, post: 539244, member: 5305"] Here's some math for you, but you may not like the answer.... The numbers will differ in your location, but you will get the drift. $10 per cow per month for grazing on your place and you watching over them. Add cost of hay in the winter. Add cost of feed and mineral. Add cost of working calves and cattle, if he doesn't help. Add cost of vet, if required. Add cost of wormer and meds. Subtract the value of a lease on his property - here it would be about $15 to $20 per acre per year. I'd say if he lets you use over about 30 acres, I would do it for free and be happy about it. But in any case, I would let him pay a prorata share of all out of pocket expenses for the combined herd, feed, vet, hay, mineral, wormer, med, etc... On a personal note, I'd be thrilled if I had close family to do this with. Your relationship with your brother is far more important than taking care of 5 cows for him and nit-picking over the value. Don't do that. [/QUOTE]
