[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1660891, member: 38101"] Sounds to.me like your expenses are extremely low. Here we feed upwards of 200 days a year. Then we have to buy land, equipment, cattle, pay taxes, build fences, plant crops, buy mineral, pay the vet, pay ourselves and more. It costs more than $280/cow. Somehow with regular - not special cows I make a full time living off cattle between my own and working out at a bigger operation. My boss and I examine and discuss our operations quite a bit because between us we own and calve out 650 head so we're pretty heavily invested and focused on it. From an investment standpoint my short sighted strategy of investing in real estate(I've never day traded land) is definitely trending in the right direction as land values have more than doubled here in the last 10 years. I'm not sure how that translates in quality of herd value dollars but I think I'll stick to my regular cows. [/QUOTE]
