I believe that most people who raise cattle as a hobby would be shocked to know what it really costs to maintain a cow and calf for a year. The national average is somewhere around $800. Since my debt is low and my land is paid for mine runs slightly less than $600, unless I'm forgetting something. Some may think they are getting by cheaper but look at it over a 40 year span and at some point you will have to fork over money for something you forgot to consider. I feed an average of 6 bales of hay a winter and at the very least it costs me $35 a bale by the time I consider the fuel, fertilzer, lime, chemicals, maintenance of the equipent and oter expence.

That's money you could be making without working it.
