[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1563526, member: 28912"] I think that some of the numbers here are a little off. I believe "with quality indoor storage", your hay losses are going to be closer to 5% than 10%. I have very little waste and no rot with my hay. But take that fact out of the equation. No one is taking into consideration that at the end of the 10-20 years you are using as an example, that you will still have the building and the equipment will be virtually worthless. There is the argument to be made for asset accumulation. With that said, everyone should do what they feel is best for their operation. Some do not want to go into debt for equipment for peace of mind's sake. Some, use this as a side business to just try to make a little extra and don't want the huge capital outlays. Some are very passionate and serious about their genetics and always want to be better. And some just raise cattle as a hobby. Everyone should do what best fits their goals and capabilities. [/QUOTE]
