[QUOTE="RICHARD ADAMS, post: 27983, member: 306"] Thanks for the input. Sounds like I will need all this stuff with the trailer being first thing. It also sounds like I'll need more cattle to rationalize the investment. Cows $3300, panels, pen and water tanks $2700, trailer $5500 (have not found used in Sac Bee or local), chutes(s) and conversion to ag insurance on property additional $1500 annually. So, $13,000 first year investment. I'm sure this is all depreciable over 5 years. After adding in $1,400 guestimated operating expenses I'll have to have at least $4000 in annual income for this to be a clean write off. About how many cattle and of what age would I have to run thru the livestock auction for this to pencil out? This must be why my kids have word problems in math class. [/QUOTE]
