Leases, in general, are a method of conserving capital or existing sources of credit while gaining access to assets which are expected to reduce production costs. The addition of cows to a dairy should reduce the fixed or ownership costs on a per cow or per cwt. basis. Too often, herd expansion has reduced production efficiency by spreading management, labor or facilities beyond their limits.
