The results showed that traditional system of cow farming business by self-management and profit sharing has profitable cash flow, NPV, IRR, BC ratios, and gross margin and worthy for selected. The Cash flow and NPV are positive and IRR level is greater than the required profit level. A semi-modern cow cage system for fattening produces lower cash flow, NPV, IRR, BC ratios, and gross margin. The cages cow breeding produces more attractive cash flow, NPV, IRR, BC ratios and gross margin. Keywords: investment, cow, fattening, breeding, cash flow, NPV, IRR.
