1 heifer; 1 bull and 1 still born.
In 4 years you have 4 cows 1 yearling and 3 calves.
1 cow was culled; 2 heifers and 1 bull.
In 5 years 4 cows 2 yearlings and 4 calves.
2 heifers and 2 bulls.
In 6 years you go broke so you sell the cows and get a real job.
OK I know. My math is worse than yours. LOL

This is a lot of what happens and when you try to tell people. They think what do you mean. They think they will do much better than that,
because they try to count there calves before there cows produce.
Raising cattle for a profit is really more of a hobby, even if you have a lot of money. The cost of maintaining those cows will eat up the money made off of the calves. You have to have a bunch of cattle and do real good just to break even, on the money invested.
Time and money invested is huge and money invested is huge.
