[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 8155706, member: 198"] On the face of it knowing those figures sounds impressive, but if you think it through what is it telling you? It's telling you that if every other variable remains the same then this is what will happen. However, keeping sheep is not the same as producing widgets in a factory or even producing pigs and poultry. There are hugely more variables in sheep production that contribute to costs. Looking back through my records the biggest influence on feed costs has been the weather, not the feed price. If you'd asked me that question at the turn of the year I could have worked it out and it would have been way out because although feed prices went up, actual feed costs went down because not as much was used as we had grass a month earlier than last year. Who knows what will happen next year! [/QUOTE]
