[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 374395, member: 1258"] I'm with the others, test your soil before you can figure out your costs for that. You will need to check your area for fencing costs. Put in a corral with a runway, you may or may not need a headgate but if you do then check to see if you can get a used one. Really for 2-3 steers you shouldn't use it much but it can be nice to have. If you don't have one though as long as you have a runway with sturdy posts you can always throw a halter on the calf and tie their heads down if necessary. You can pay the money to put in a waterer or you can get a few buckets and a hose depending on whether you feel like watering them a couple times a day. Most of the expense in getting into what you want to do is for the big things that will last a long time. The meat you will eat will be worth it. [/QUOTE]
