[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1661828, member: 39695"] What about a % of the calf crop instead of owning individual cows? That way if one of the kids cows looses a calf every one looses equally. Separate enterprises can work, but can get sticky in a hurry. The farm that I'm herdsman for; the father owns ground, the son rents ground. Son owns planter and combine. Father owns all other equipment. One fuel barrel. I have heard more arguments about how much fuel gets used in who's ground. To last me a life time. IMO it's just smoother if everyone has skin in the game. Everyone feels good when you saver a calf and have an extra one to sell in the fall. And everyone feels part of the pain of paying a repair bill. As time goes by, you can either expand or transfer a higher % to the family. [/QUOTE]
