[QUOTE="Homesy, post: 6362986, member: 71466"] Yep but most of them produce a calf so most of that is cancelled out. if using sexed semen they can become almost self replacing. The semen cost needs to be included mind. Also most people have land which is unsuitable for cropping or grazing cows. If that's the case summer keep is fairly cheap. The same with labour. If you have spare time during the day, the labour costs are negligible. If you are paying someone just to rear the heifers then that's different. Most dairy farms have peak requirement at milking times and surplus during the rest of the day. No one farm is the same. [/QUOTE]
