[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 143192, member: 1257"] You might want to contact reputable cattleman in your area and the IFAS (University of Florida). It is not a lack of cattle in the southeast that has kept feedlots from remaining open. It is the climate. The old farmers rule about cattle grow best when the temperature plus the humidity is less than 150 degrees. How much of the year is it like that around here (North Florida). There was a feedlot in Atmore, AL but he went out of business. Seemed like a good facility, you might want to check into that. The closest packing house was in Montgomery, AL (CLOSED). Good luck but I would suggest you do something else with your money. You are too far away from a cheap food source and the packing houses, too much freight to pay when diesel is approaching $3.00 a gallon. [/QUOTE]
