[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1813493, member: 42463"] I've never put up hay. I've always done it on shares. I manage the fields/grass/alfalfa/oats, and someone else manages the equipment. I've never found it profitable to own much equipment. I never skimped on vaccinations, fencing, or buildings, but I've fed old hay that people would throw away and raised my own bulls. I've bought good headgates and built my own squeeze behind them. I've salvaged old wood and pulled nails so I could use it. My place wasn't full of expensive equipment but it was well organized and clean. It wasn't a show place but the people I sold to returned because they got good animals that produced. I agree that a lot of places are all show and no go. Papers and no pounds gained. Debt and great credit and very little paid for. [/QUOTE]
