[QUOTE="Bama, post: 490180, member: 1184"] On cows they are charged by their upkeep. Calves out of a cow on my place is credited back to the cow. Year one I buy a bred cow for $1000 in Oct. She is charge with her cost plus her feed and upkeep ( her share of pasture and all other expenses)Beginning of year 2 her cost is what was carried over from year 1 (1000 + upkeep) $1090. She calves in March and rebreeds to my bull, calf sells for calf sells for $700 in fall. She cost me $375 to keep and calf cost me $20 upkeep. ( meds and tags ) End of year 2 cow is $1090-$700+$375+$20=$785,. Cow is now $785 in my pocket at end of year 2. Year 3 she calves in mar. Now she is also charged for her part of the upkeep of the bull as well( $15). Calf sells for $700 again, she cost me $375 again and calf $20. End of year 3 - $785 +$15+$375+$20-$750= $445 Same thing for year 4-$445+$15+$375+$20-$750=$105 and 5- $105+$15+$375+$20-$750= a $235 dollar profit.
