[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 163418, member: 539"] I'm no expert on this, but even I can see a flaw in your math. What about the gas, time spent, wear and tear, and maintenance costs on your pickup running to town to get the oats assuming you don't raise them? Costs spent if you did raise them and fed as opposed to selling them? Plus the time spent feeding the oats and maintaining the feeder? Assuming minimum wage (which I believe is what most farmers and ranchers work at, maybe less) and 15 minutes feeding time (which is approximately what it takes me to load the feed, carry it to my bucket calves and feed them once a day) each day thats 1.31/per feeding added to your above figures. To just factor in the cost of the feed doesn't give you a realistic picture of the cost. [/QUOTE]
