[QUOTE="Kell-inKY, post: 1253371, member: 23511"] Nothing personal but I think all this is irrelevant to the original posters question. Only he can determine how many gates, what type and how much fencing, handling facilities, type and cost of tractors etc. Not a single person on here can determine this for him, we have no idea what he has to start with and how much he needs. These up front costs will be pretty much the same no matter what type of cattle operation he decides to run. However, almost every single person on here can tell him what it takes to run each of the following (Cow/Calf, stocker, Feeder, etc.) as far as feed costs, vet bills, mineral etc. and it will be pretty close whatever area you are in. That is how we can help the OP, by helping him decide what type of operation would be the most profitable for him. Infrastructure will be nearly the same on them all, but feed costs etc. will be different. [b]I'm not sure we are giving the OP enough credit[/b], he knows there will be costs for putting up a fence, new gates, a barn etc. How can we help him determine those costs? I do not think he is asking us that. But back to the original question, I think your lowest input would be to buy 5 weights in the spring, grow them on grass, and sell in the fall. seems we are arguing over everyone's definition of ADC, just trying to put it into the OP's context.
