Im looking at buying a place that will be too far away to run yearlings (future home site). I won't be able to get out to this place every day at this point in my life and would like to get something started. I know cows are high, but its a long term investment. Not sure if I will end up getting...

^ thats what I am getting at. I would rather buy hay and spend a little extra for a hay spike bed than to buy a tractor and all the haying equipment. Maybe invest in a trailer to be independent hauling hay, because that cost gets high as well. The chances of things going wrong with a hay spike...

Looking at getting some corrals. Interested in everyones opinions on what people like. I like the W&W and the Rawhide, but thats just from what I have seen on the internet. Only ones I have used myself are Wilsons. I will be using them for my own cattle, yearlings and cows, but more often for...
