WY, OK | 10 years is high, more like 6-8. Unless you don't cull for opens, otherwise loss to being open is huge in the first 3 years by itself. Depreciation also wouldn't be on the top of my list, if anything they increase in value for the first few years as long as they stay pregnant. It will be more important to figure out your actual time she spends in the herd to know how much she costs per year in hard cash. If you have a 10 year avg, then for every cow that goes out at 3 years you have one make it 17, no way that happens. | |

How do you calculate cow depreciation on a budget?
