[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1721339, member: 38595"] I despise the thought of a feedlot, but here I find myself in the early stages of running one. Lol. What do you do... I've got 4 metal feed troughs on the top of a hill by my house. I think I am about to build a fenceline setup so I don't have to tromp in the mud. That, or pour a concrete pad to feed them on. Or a combination of both. This mud is getting to me already. Am headed out now to scrape it clean. I'm curious what kind of setup you all are doing. Pictures would be appreciated if anyone felt compelled to share some. Would like to be able to do 15 at a time, but be able to make it longer when the time comes. I'm liking the concrete J bunk feeders. Also thought about building a shed against the fence line. Put feeders on the back wall and be able to feed from inside the structure. Animals on the outside back wall. I would like to be doing grass finished, but have headed the other direction. Just don't have the time or money to go that route. Nor the demand. Might try with a couple this summer. Wish I could find a way of keeping them on a good daily grass rotation and still give them the corn. But thatd be a pain in the arse I already know. Just curious how yall are doing it. Merry Christmas to everyone! [/QUOTE]
