[QUOTE="labman, post: 111385, member: 2184"] THanks for a very insightful answer. Chutes, pens etc are adequate on the large pasture, I can probably get by for awhile on the small pasture with what I have on my place-bought with what little $$/depreciation I've made doing what I do on a small scaleover the years. Fences are in decent condition, repair would be a negotiable item for the lease. Both pastures are cross fenced in a well though out manner. My partner and I would do the vac's. We've got plenty of labor between the 2 of us between sons, and company laborers who already help out some on other projects. We're short on adequate trailers, but have several 3/4 and 1 ton PU's from current business. Liability insurance is covered, just need a rider on current biz/personal coverage. You can bet when I buy, the green lite goes off in the pit and everyone who has cattle contracts either sells or goes short. Same when I sell. I've spoke with several operators in my area who are looking to place some cows on pasture for short periods of time, which woud alleviate a bunch of issues with round-up and initial health concerns. But to make this work, my partner and I would definitely have to buy some large lots to take advantage of the economies of scale associated with this project. TXcowboy, thanks for the post, raised some good issues and led me to consider seevral more. [/QUOTE]
