[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 264068, member: 839"] Small operations can be, and some are, run efficiently. However, I have to agree with Aplus, many aren't for many reasons. I also have to agree with Caustic, spending cubic-thousands of $$ on equipment for small tax breaks is foolish when less expensive alternatives can be implemented. That is, if you are planning on being profitable. Roger, yes, it is my opinion (and [b]just[/b] an opinion) that generally many small producers are not reliant on the profitablity of their operations to survive in this world. I also do think (again, just an opinion here based on my own personal observations of some of the "outfits" around me), that many of the cattle/calves/feeders/whatever are sold at break-even prices. I also think (again, just an opinion) that the middlemen (read-as-the-retailers), are making a fair amount of money on most of the beef animals sold. Unfortunately I am not as eloquent as others so as to put what I'm trying to say, into writing as clearly as the thinking. Katherine [/QUOTE]
