[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 289167, member: 539"] Whether or not it's recommended depends entirely on whether or not you can afford to do it. I'm not being a smarty pants here, simply stating facts. It's not worth laying awake nights worrying about how you're going to make the payment. We did everything by hand for many, many years when we first started out - fed the cows with those big galvanized tubs that you balance on your hip, built our own feed bunks, built windbreaks with salvaged wood we got cheap from other people, pulled calves with a comealong, improvised corrals, the only extravagance we had was the squeeze chute, and I suspect it was built by the local blacksmith. Most everything we had was home made, because the folks couldn't afford to buy the equipment and feed 4 kids. Figure out what it's going to cost you in the long run, and if you can afford it, go for it. If you can't, learn how to improvise and get it done. [/QUOTE]
