So there was this meeting in town last week. The topics included the Agri invest program (Canada), surviving crisis like we are now. The crisises included the high inputs, high dollar, feed costs, drought in some areas and flooding in other areas.
Well, I had figured on a price for the cost to keep a cow, on my own the last few months. Something we do atleast yearly. I was happy to know that i figured about 50.00 less than the gov did. The only thing I did not add in was insurances and land taxes, i think.
Any how the numbers were surprising.
Not including labour, depreication of equiment and before living expenses and loan payments the cost to keep a cow came to $491.00 Include depreiciation and labour $789.00.
$1.09 is break even on a 575lb calf.
$1.44 needed to maintain the farm
This does not include if you have to buy and haul hay.
An eye opener to say the least
