[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 72734, member: 9"] There are two "Laws" of Business: * The Law of Diminishing Returns * The Law of Economy of Scale If these aren't in proper proportion, things can get pretty nasty. On a sidebar: We don't hire any help to run our operation, are "retired" from the "business" lifestyle, and view our operation as both business and enjoyment of livestock. Our direct operating expenses and overhead expenses average out about 50/50. Our infrastructure is paid for and we are still realizing depreciation on our investment at tax time each year. All this aside, even if we have to sell a calf that didn't turn out to be breeding quality at a sale barn, we still make about $200 + on the calf. Considerably more if we sell a registered animal as breeding stock. I would think that anyone that couldn't make more than $50 to $100 on an animal they sold (barring unforeseen exceptions that always happen) ... well, things could be a lot better in their operation....
