Do i enter farm animals purchased for breeding under assets?

[dstewartxiii]

What do I include things such as animals purchased, housing and pens, feed, etc.

[Cattlerancher]

Most common purchased breeding livestock used on farms are entered as an asset and depreciated (hogs, sheep, cattle, horses, goats). There are some exceptions. Please review IRS publication 225;

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p225.pdf

If you raised the breeding stock from birth they are not entered as an asset but sold as non-depreciated business property.

Farm buildings are depreciated.

Portable panels for pens are generally expensed.

Purchased feed is an expense.
