Read a thread that is now gone asking about feeding costs for livestock. Rule of thumb is 1 cow = 3 sheep = 4 goats and ratio is roughly based on weight. Cost of medication, yardage, monitoring is extra. In most cases, mortalities costs are borne by the owner not the feeder but it is best to spell out in the terms in a contract.
