[QUOTE="KHereford, post: 1001403, member: 18150"] Read the book by Dr. Gordon Hazard, I wish would have when I started. He runs 1800 stockers with a part time hired man and a Dodge dakota pick up. It really depends on your management. I have fiends that went broke buying equipment, they owed more on the there machines than they did on there cattle. It has been said many times and proven over and over, the more equipment you put between your cattle and there food the more it cost. I am only 33 so I realize Im not going to be able to unroll bales by hand and put feeders over bales forever but it saves me money now. In the end we still sell cattle by the pound and I have never seen a cow gain weight by standing next to a tractor, my goal is to take the cow to the food not the other way around but sometimes its not possible.
