[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1634551, member: 24583"] You’re double figuring some of that. You can’t “lose” what you never had. If she doesn’t have a calf, then you can’t “lose” what that calf “would have brought” So let’s say it’s January 1st, 2020. Bull is turned in with cow. She should calve let’s say October 1st, 2020. Ideally you would preg check her around April 1st. If she’s pregnant that’s good. If not, you sell her and buy a replacement. Figuring $450 a year to keep her, you only lost 1/4 of that, $112.50. If you were to wait until January 1st, 2021 (one year from breeding) and she didn’t have a calf, then you lost $450. If you were to keep her anyway, then anything you spend on keeping her after that, then that should be considered a hobby expense, bc there’s no practical reason for keeping her if you’re viewing it as a business. Hope that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
