[QUOTE="Aero, post: 168457, member: 2076"] this makes a big difference in borrowing money. a normal feeder calf producer doesnt have a real need to borrow money for a herd when he could work a few years to get there with normal herd reproduction. with a finishing/feedlot program, you arent going to build a herd and some financing is almost necessary. unless you plan to haul them yourself, there is usually a hauling minimum, for the semi loads. usually it will take 38 or so 1300 lb steers to get to the 50000 lb hauling mark. hauling less than a full load just costs you money. if hauling a long distance, this should come into play when considering cattle numbers.
