[QUOTE="egbert, post: 7420471, member: 9965"] gotta pull you up there [USER=3575]@Hilly[/USER] - but thanks for your empathic views. I think I said c.o.p is 150% of gross sales - trying to pluck a number.* Therefore, if I gross £60k sales, I'm losing £30k in currency on cattle operations, not counting my time. *it's hard to put a figure in the inputs/profit loss, as I (or any of you) might decide to renew half the knackered old gear in the yard, half the buildings, and up the fence budget by tens of thousands at any moment. Just the morass of write down values does my head in. As i've admitted elsewhere, I use such shifting sands as an accounting tool most years. (it's not 'evasion', just management) And for [USER=155477]@Cowmansam[/USER] ... I didn't inherit much of anything. Succeeding a good AHA tenancy has been the backbone of my good fortune...which i acknowledge was a very fine stroke of circumstance. As for subsidised dinosaurs...don't fall into the trap of thinking, because I cruise my farming on a light touch to maximise profit, that I'm not capable of sound practise. I'd never claim to be as good a farmer as many around me, but equally, I'm cutting my cloth according to what suits right now. [/QUOTE]
