:help: Ight, so my holstein calf had to go to cow heaven. I was told I need to call the county extension office to get some paper for tax purposes. So I called them and the man was like "HUH a paper cause you calf is DEAD?! what kinda paper do I need give you!? We don't do that." What do I do! :?
 
The IRS inspector told a friedn of mine the same thing last year. He had the inpsector call a CPA and discovered no one had ever heard of a death certificate except maybe by the vet for insurance purposes. Since your extension guy is so sharp, ask him what it is and where to get it.
 
Never had to have proof of death. If you bought the calf and it died, it is a direct loss. If you spent money on that calf for meds or vet bills, add that on too.

If you had a calf born out of one of your cows, lost it, that's a whole different story.
 
Did you buy the calf?? If you paid for the calf you now have a deduction for your farm. On a 1040F, if you file that form. You won't get audited, but if you did a vet statement that he saw your dead calf would be helpful. I wouldn't spend any money on this. You won't be audited unless you are also making rock star $ and farming on the side.

Thanks for your suggestion. OMG! "Texas Christian University Junior applicants formally applying to the Ranch Management Program are required to have maintained a 2.6 overall GPA and should have sufficient working experience in agriculture to understand the nature of the industry." Dayum you think they let catholic girls with tall socks and a -0.02 GPA in their skool!? OMG! I have this problem something about going to skool.... they don't just let me show up and look pretty. They want me to do class work and homework and ! OOOOH MY! I tried to go to skool a while back I had a panic attack in class! AND it was more fun to go ride my dirt bike on sunny days than go sit in the classroom! WTF was the teacher thinking!? Hey are there any on-line classes?! I like that Graham it looks GOOD! Woohoo! I don't like the look of that birthing stuff! Oooh my! My husband better handle that! I gota weak stomach! I tried to shot our calf, she wasn't gunna make it. Well.....I missed... Get real I didn't miss from a foot away on purpose! DUH! Don't tell my o' man he thinks I just didn't have the guts to do it! Ha!
 
:lol: OH NO NO NO!! Ya'll make me sound bad! I didn't shot it, I missed on purpose. She went down over the weekend, got real sick, had scours bad. I took her to the vet, but he said he didn't think he could save her, it would cost more money than she was worth, best thing would be a bullet. She was going in and out of a coma and had MAGGOTS taking over. So yes I put on my big girl grown a&% women pants suck it up and drove her back home. :frowns: I am VERY VERY girl-girly. I sucked it up and picked her up outa the back of the cattle wagon and got her laid in the field. Yes, maggots, poop, and all! Where is that barfing face! YUCK! Took everything I had in me. Than by the time I got the gun the lady I am just couldn't do it. Bless her heart she was so sweet. She was still fighting to live. I got my nice neighbor man to come do it for me. He did no problem. :)

Dr Oz is not a reality show. It's an altered reality show.
