[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1604184, member: 21075"] With the price of cattle you need to do some real close penciling as haying is not cheap no matter how you do it. If I didn't already have my equipment with the price of cattle I could not buy new or even good used equipment and come out. This country let the Chinese buy up out biggest packing/slaughter houses and now we are at their mercy. They control the price and as long as there is a good supply of cattle whether being foreign or domestic they will not pay more. The Chinese bought a large hog processing plant close me, Cumberland Gap Provisions, and now they control the hog meat prices in this area. Why in heck would this country let other countries control our food beats me, as China sure would not have let this happen to their country. Here is some figures and probably too cheap. Good round/square usable dependable round baler $7k Tractor to pull it $15k+ Tedder $2k+ Hay rake $2k+ 2nd tractor $5k+ Disc mower $4k+ If they need parts prices can be very expensive. [/QUOTE]
