LANCASTER - A calf cart? Why
not? People use strollers to haul
their children from place to place,
why shouldn’t we have such help
moving our calves?
Well, now we can. Caf-Cart is a
cart on wheels big enough to hold a
300-pound calf made by a company
called Raytec Manufacturing from
Ephrata.
It’s highly unlikely you’d ever
want to take your calf for a stroll
for all the neighbors to see, but
moving him from pen to pen might
become less of a chore with this
new “contraption.”
Caf-Cart is designed to take the
strain out of moving young calves
from meadow to hutch to barn. It
features a load-from-the-ground
level design, so there’s no lifting
supposedly to save your animals
from injury, but perhaps actually
saved would be you and your back.
The cart features six-inch
ground clearance and over-sized,
rubber-tired wheels to help it float
over rough terrain.
And this cart even has those
baby strollers beat you can’t
lock your child’s head in place for
cleaning ears and cutting hair, but
on Caf-Cart you can lock your
calf’s head in place for dehorning
and clipping.
Caf-Cart has been around for a
year and according to Raymond

Zimmerman, president at Raytec,
the cart has “sold quite well in,
California. It’s a good state for us
they have bigger farms.”
He continued, “We expect the
market to be big; it’s quite unique.
It may not be for every farm, but
it’s good for dehoming. Now it only
takes one man, where as before it
took two or three.”
If you think that the cart may be
a waste of time, think of other uses

course, the executor still has to pay
the penalties for late filing.
Sixth: Formula For Valuation
There are two formula which can
be used for valuation. One is based
on the average farm home loan
bank interest rate for the past five
years, and the other involves past
income and capitalization of
earnings.
The farm valuation election is so
complicated it requires the ser
vices of a tax attorney who
specializes in farms. Nevertheless,
it can result in greatsavings.
As an example, assume a
husband and wife owns a large
farm and meat processing
business. They split the farm and
business into two equal parts, and
die in 1987.

of Caf-Cart. You can carry feed
and water to the hutches in it. Caf-
Cart won’t tip over because of its
counter-balanced axle, so you also
can haul tools, fence poets and
building supplies.
The price of one Caf-Cart is $215,
plus $lB for a headlock.
Perhaps a stroll with Caf-Cart
will become the norm not to
show off the calf, but to display
your cart!
50% ownership of entireties
property under the new act, the
unlimited marital deduction and
the elimination of the three-year
gifts and presumption of death
provision, substantial new estate
planning opportunities are open.
Frequently the surviving spouse
desires to sell the farm to a son or
daughter at a reduced rate. If the
grantor is the estate, a substantial
capital gains tax could result. But
if the grantor is the surviving
spouse, and a reduced basis
resulting from farm valuation is
thatched to the 'consideration, a
much lower tax results. This has
been complicated under the new
act because now, regardless of
whose money bought the farm, half
will be considered to be the
husband’s and half the wife’s. If
the farm is sold for less than fair
market value, a gift tax return
must be filed.
A minimum of 7% interest must
be charged for mortgages or other
loans under the new law (it was
10% before if the interest rate was
unstated, and 9% if stated).
However, the interest can be
forgiven annually by use of the new
$lO,OOO annual exclusion. This
special 7% interest can only be
used on loans to farmily members
not in excess of $500,000.
With professional planning, we
now have the ability to pass on
farms and closely held businesses
to family members without bur
densome estate taxes.
