[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1011772, member: 694"] There is no way I can pencil out carrying two cow's for two year's with no return to the farm. That is what it cost to retain that heifer along with all the other associated cost with raising her. That cost will vary by region. Here I would have to feed 16 roll's of hay to carry two cow's for two year's before I get any income that cost alone is 800 dollar's Secondly there is no depreciation value on the retained heifer as she has no value to the IRS unless sold. The bought heifer or cow is ready for immediate service and has depreciation value. Again [b]IMO[/b] there is no benifit to the commercial cattleman. I am not pasture blind either as I am alway's looking for the more better cow, that is why we live so long as there is no perfect herd. If we do get there we die the next week and our kid's haul them to the salebarn. [/QUOTE]
