[QUOTE="herofan, post: 933213, member: 17843"] That sounds a lot like us. I have difficulty understanding why it is so expensive. We currently have 16 heifers, 130 acres paid for, and a few pieces of farm equipment. Granted, my brother and I just got back in the business, but he had a 16 cow/calf hobby here a few years ago. He keeps receipts on everything. He said he always made good money even then. Of course, 16 cows is not a living; we just look at it as extra money, and he said it was good money. He had someone mow our hay on the 1/3 deal, so he had to buy a few rolls; otherwise, he said he bought a little mineral, fly control, and fuel, and that was about it. He likes to call us the "bare bones" operators though. We just work with what we have and don't have a need for new equipment often. So, I guess everybody's situation is just different. [/QUOTE]
