[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 27992"] Remember you don't have to own everything. You can hire out or rent a lot of what you need. My neighbors have a 350 cow dairy and they don't own a stock trailer. They say it is cheaper and easier to have someone haul their cattle for them. I have the same guy haul for me and it pencels better than owning one. It would be more convenient at times but for the cost of insurance, lic. not to mention the trailer, it is sure cheaper for me to hire someone. All you need to start is a good stout pen to load out of. A pen about 20 by 20 would work for the numbers you are talking about. Railroad ties set in the groud 36 inches with 2 by 8 spaced about 6 inches apart and about 5 or 6 feet high gives them no visible way out. Be sure to nail the board on to the inside of the pen.
