[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 604704, member: 3739"] Boy did I ever open up a can of worms. :shock: Well basically, my term paper's been this: find a cooperator with about 100 head of cattle or more and make a report on how profitable they are and what things they can do to change their operation to be more profitable. So I'm sort of acting as a "farm-consultant-in-training" sort of deal...not that I'll actually BE a consultant... Anyway, I've had to go out to the farm to get info on things like expenses and revenues, building and machinery values, unpaid labour costs, and info on everything invovled running the cowherd: pasture, hay, crops, aftermath grazing, calf crop, calf and cull sales, the list goes on. Then I was asked to ask my co-operator to come up with a few questions they would like to know in this report, and one of them was this one about a one-man operation making $20 000 or $40 000 or $60 000. The others they asked me to find out about were pros and cons of home-raised replacements versus bred or open heifers bought from somewheres else, and whether its more profitable to buy hay versus making it on your own land or making it on rented land. Just to give you an idea of what I have to write up (and present to my co-operators) in this report, among other calculations and discussions of the SWOT analysis and recommendations. [/QUOTE]
