                                       - 10 -                                         
          income reported from the sale of calves during the years at                 
          issue.5  Accordingly, petitioner is allowed, under section                  
          183(b)(2), a deduction of expenses each year equal to the gross             
          income reported.                                                            
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                                under Rule 155.                       


























               5It is not clear from the record whether petitioner incurred           
          items of expense contemplated by sec. 183(b)(1) in either of the            
          years at issue.  As there are sufficient expenses which otherwise           
          fall under sec. 183(b)(2), however, we are satisfied that                   
          petitioner is entitled to a deduction each year in an amount                
          equal to the gross income reported from his ranching activities.
