I have been interested in a owning a small feedlot type setup for sometime. I have the land to to operate a 1000-2000 head facility. This would be buying small 2-3 weight calves thru the sale barn and selling around 7-8 weight. I know a lot of variables go into profit margins. Is there a goal per head a producer can shoot for on this type of operation? Once the facility and equipment is paid for would $50-$100 per head profit be out of line? Thanks for the input.
