[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1331741, member: 17956"] It's hard to justify certain things, with so few head: $3200 squeeze chute $3200/25 head= $128.....$128 / 5 years= $25.60 $3200 squeeze chute. $3200 /75 head = $42. $42 / 5 years = $8.40 It's kind of a no brainer. If you've got 75 cows, you can work them in a squeeze for $8.40 a piece. If you've got 25 cows, it's $25.60. Same logic applies to almost everything you need. It's hard to justify having equipment and facilities for 25 head. It's hard to run 25 head without equipment and facilities. Work em in a medina, and go for the pay day. It goes slow, and it's a bit dangerous. You gotta weigh out what you want to do, and what your goals are. To answer your question, it'll cost you $450 a year to own a cow. The amount you spend over that is at the expense of your profit. [/QUOTE]
