[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 1316407, member: 4786"] Year end and year out I my costs are close to $700 per cow. This is figuring everything from depreciation on trucks and tractors to depreciation on fences. Most people have no clue just how much money they have tied up in just fence. Even though you might not have built any in a while, the replacement cost will come some day. For example, I can get a 6 strand barb wire fence built for $3 a foot. I figure a 25 year life on the fence. I figure each foot of fence is costing me $.12 per foot per year. If you figure how many feet of fence you have on a place this adds up. Between my place and dads we have 44,000 ft of fence. With the .12 per foot this equals $5280 a year just to keep the cows in. [/QUOTE]
