[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1835696, member: 8359"] Negating your time (as farmers always need to do), if you don't have too many repairs-maintenance...$1.45 per day that's $530 a year...calves, their feed cost for 6 to 9 months..upon sale will be worth enough to cover that. I'm beginning to understand it's all about feed costs to turn a profit...does any farm, any location offer the ability to feed cattle for 50 cents a day? Even if you are a producer of hay and cattle...you still have costs to make those bales.
