[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1553053, member: 37967"] I think you just about covered it A to Z Ron, but you forgot "GENETICS". That's almost an intangible, but let's say a rancher says to himself/herself "Hey, I'm going to AI 50 cows/heifers this year versus letting the bulls do the job" then let's assume that said rancher gets serious and AI's all 50 using sexed semen from ST Genetics, SAV Raindance, for example. Let's then assume that maybe 40 settle, and out of the 40 let's assume 38 make it. You now have 38 Raindance daughters, which are, as you said "money in the bank", and easily marketable. Let's compare that to "let the bull get them" which results in calves on the ground, but calves that have a far different value proposition than the calves mentioned above. That is one way I see to increase your "net worth" with marginal capital expenditure. $75 x 100 straws (for good measure) $7500 AI Tech (not sure what you pay, assume $50 per AI) $50 x 100 tries $5000 Lutalyse, synch etc (not sure how much, I don't use this) Labor (not sure how much you are worth per hour) All told you might invest $15k give or take $1k 38 Raindance heifers are probably worth a minimum of $2k, so let's stick with that assumption. 38 x $2000 equals $76k. A registered Angus heifer around here from Stone Gate brings a minimum of $2k, but closer to $3k, and that is not even for a heifer from AI. $15k to $76k???? Try that day trading on Etrade, harder than it looks, you can't turn real estate from $15k to $76k in the same time period, at least not under normal conditions. Maybe day trading Bitcoin, flipping muscle cars, etc. You asked about ranching wealth however, I digress. Now let's assume you keep those super nice heifers and AI them, now you are ready to double your money and make it stack. Don't forget, that semen, AI tech, and everything else is most likely a deduction. Now this idea is looking even better. [/QUOTE]
