Hello,
I grew up on a ranch and went to school for Animal Science. Since graduating I have worked nutrition and A.I. jobs on the side to get to the point where I can start my own cow herd (family ranch still there but big catastrophe brewing on being able to make a business there, not because of opportunity but because of family) So long intro to my question, what do the more seasoned business guys out there do for breeding stock depreciation, expenses, and just an overall tax strategy. We filed our first schedule F last year but it wasn't as big of a deal. This year with buying 10 cows and having partner cows, flush mate embryo calves retained and sold, I'm starting to think I need to put a much more serious plan and strategy to pay the least taxes but still show that this is supposed to be a for profit enterprise. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tyler
