[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 722321, member: 5478"] I thought it might be a good idea to post a shopping list, especially for those just getting started. Some folks might not realize what they are getting into, and these costs may come as a suprise to some, after they have already jumped in. I just want to make a list of the MINIMUM that a person needs to get started raising cattle. I am sure there will be differences of opinion on what the minimum actually is, but this is what I have come up with off the top of my head. I invite all of you to add anything that you feel should be on the list, maybe we can make this a "sticky" when we are done? Please only list what you consider a bare minimum of what is needed to get started. fencing tools (depends on what kind of fence you have- fence pliers, stretchers, post hole diggers or spade) fencing materials (wire, posts, staples, clips, etc.) extra fencing materials (for repairs) corral shelter head catch or squeeze chute (a snubbin' post and two portable panels can be substituted, that's all we ever used to use) pickup and stock trailer calf puller ropes tractor/loader (admit it,....it's necessary) vet supplies (vaccine gun, anti-biotics, scour bolus, blood stop, pinkeye med, etc.) Ivermectin branding irons/ear tags/tagger Bull (or AI tech) [/QUOTE]
