[QUOTE="Hondac, post: 743896, member: 13850"] I'm just beginning the process of taking over the family farm (and I know next to nothing about cattle). Excluding land & taxes on land for a moment, I calculate the FEED COST ONLY for ONE COW to be: $ 90.00 per year for pasture ( 1 cow per 1.5 acres in Tennessee) which includes fertilize (125 - 150 lbs per acre), lime every 4 years or so, and spraying once per year for weed control. $175.00 per year to feed the cow for 135 days (on average each winter), or about $1.30 per day in winter. Total of about $265.00 per year per cow ( again feed cost only). Would you say I'm in the ballpark? [/QUOTE]
