[QUOTE="cowboy43, post: 715031, member: 10124"] You are figuring a 100% calf crop for 10 calves for 10 cows , good luck, year end year out you will be lucky to average an 80% calf crop, also you need to figure the cost of a bull and upkeep of him. Also I question 10 cows and calves + bull on 50 acres without a lot of feeding in north Texas, if you figure all costs of paying loan back + interest and all aditional cost ,tractor, equipment , fuel, truck and trailer,expenses, fences , depreciation of livestock, you will be lucky to clear $0 to $100 per cow. Even if you pay cash for them you need to handle as a loan paying yourself back, you can buy a stocker for the price you will have invested in a cow for the year. and if it turns off dry you can unload them easier.
