And they’re a lot of trouble to have around when they’re not fulfilling that one function. So the smart Capitalist will not *buy* one, but only *hire* one at appropriate times throughout the year. Plus you also get to write off the hire cost as an operating expense, instead of having to depreciate its purchase as a capital cost over some number of years. Greetings from a country 🇳🇿 which derives a large chunk of its income from dairy farming. That involves having lots of cows around, and just the right number of bulls, and no more. Oh, and by the usual 🇺🇸 mentality we’re probably a “Socialist” nation, too. While they’re the ones who have special Government-provided protections for their farmers, and we don’t.
