[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1728343, member: 25884"] There are 2 different ways to figure the feed costs... one that adds in all possible charges against the cattle... and the actual costs of the actual feed consumed, not taking in to consideration the secondary costs of land, taxes etc. If you are going to have the land regardless, then the cattle feed costs are not near as high since you are not assigning a value to the land and such. But if you rent/lease land then you really have to assign that to the cattle keeping costs. Since we are paying mortgages and some lease/rent costs, that is all figured in. If you are going to let the land sit there and do nothing, or run cattle on it, then maybe you don't figure it in. And there are different ways to figure in things that are "capital improvements" like fences, and waterers, and gates and whatever.... If you figure it like [USER=498]@Dave[/USER] does, he assigns a "winter cost" and a grazing cost for the different times of the year... and that makes more sense in areas that you don't keep the animals year round....
