[QUOTE="uscangus, post: 730427, member: 13261"] thanks rockridgecattle for your excellent advices and the breakdown of fixed and variable expenses, the farm is a write off for my practices and the cattle was supposed to be a deductions. eventually, i read a lot of articles and journals of raising first year heifer vs bred-cow and fell in love with the idea. i did not want to plant any green vegetables because of labor intensities and fixed or sunken costs such as machinery and labor costs compared to beef cattle with its vet and a labor person costs. the profit margin would have been small and labor intensities would have been nightmare. i wanted a simple life in beef cattle compared planting corn, peas, and beans. my neighbor does that and he is always with his machineries with laborers. on top that, he has to constantly water or irrigate his fields. i wanted and simple life with good physical activity compare to my present job in the office practice, being inactive. also, i wanted my children to be aware where food come from and learn how till the soil. and, to be outdoor.
