We made the decision when we started the business never to operate a debt based business so no animal we have or equipment or building is ever charged. So because of that some years the animal purchase budget is lighter due to what we've hatched and sold.
In 2006 Calico females were 10-12K
So when I got that girl early in 2010 she was a mid 2009.
So with the cost and no debt it takes time to do it all strickly cash in hand business..
