Hi,

indeed, I would suggest you come up with your own thoughts first. Nevertheless, I would suggest you start by asking yourself which valuation methodologies make sense in this context. Some first thoughts on this include:

„Discounted“ Cash Flow

  • Revenues – Ask yourself what revenue streams a cow could produce over its lifetime. Be creative! For example:
    • Milk production
    • Riding (rent income)
    • Meat production (at end of life)
  • Costs
    • investment costs
    • maintenance cost, costs of raising the cow
    • Rent / housing costs if applicable
  • Discounted profits
    • Then calculate the yearly profits of owning the cow and discount them back to the present to get the net present value

Replacement value

  • What does it cost to buy a cow?

Precedent transactions

  • For which price did comparable cows sell in the recent past?

„Liquidation“ value

  • How much money could you make if you sell the component parts of the cow, i.e. the meat?

Hope this helps :)

Best regards
