[QUOTE="herofan, post: 934362, member: 17843"] Oh sure, I realize my butt is in a sling for a few years due to the "start-up" costs, no argument there. Once things get established in a few years, however, it will be different, as it was with my neighbor. I won't have the cost of buying 16 heifers and fencing 130 acres every year. As far as going to town to get supplies, we don't make special trips for that unless it's an emergency; we pick up things on our way from work. As for the trailer to haul, I don't own one. We have a friend who hauls for us. Ten years ago he charged $20 to haul to the local barn. I'm sure that's went up, but I don't suppose it will be a huge dent. We have a traveling vet, so there is no haul to the vet. We don't insure equipment. As for tires, I can't say that is something we need regularly. I can't remember the last time we bought a tire for farm equipment. Yes, I won't see a profit for some time because of the start up costs; I wish we had maintained a herd all these years, but that's another story that I won't bore you with. [/QUOTE]
