[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7317566, member: 63856"] It depends what you sell....or what your income is made up of. Products, services? Selling 20 weaned calves and 350 lambs is a small income so your fixed costs need to be virtually zero. It's precariously close to volunteer work, even done well. Selling 20 stud cattle and 3,500kg of meat boxes is quite a significant jump from that. Add in wool and hide products, a summer grazing service... it all adds to something that isn't so dependent on what "the market" is paying because you are the marketer. "Wool's worth nothing" but a ten jumpers sell for a grand . 😬 Depends what you will do in order to succeed, most stop at blaming others for why they don't. [/QUOTE]
