[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 9197153, member: 63856"] Fencing was about ⅓ of the total cost, from memory. And it makes a difference which stocking rate you work it out on to get an accurate figure, our peak SR was 8.1/ha (see comments I made above regarding embarrassing covers) but more regularly around 5/ha or slightly under. It's far easier to work out on a per hectare basis and then work out per head from there, I think we spent $430/ha so let's say $150/ha of it was fence and bike and related hardware. 5 animals per hectare = $30/hd = £15/hd roughly 8hd/ha would bring it down to more like £9/hd but of course that's not how it works, this is a per area cost because animals come and go. Sure beats the crap out of 2 head per hectare and feeding your winter silage out in the summer because you made silage - what's the cost of one tractor again? [/QUOTE]
