[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1742445, member: 32659"] You are correct CB. There's definitely no simple answer to the problems in the beef industry. I've looked at everyway I can think of and watched what a lot of people I know do and just decided on what I like and what works for me. I know several guys that have chicken houses and they say it's around 20k per house profit. I really think there will be contract cattle growers if there's not already. The biggest problem I see is time. It takes about 45 days to get a chicken from a chick to a killing size of 6-8 pounds. It takes 18 months to grow a baby calf out. The biggest deal with chicken houses is that you don't just wake up one morning and get out. I'd guess a modern chicken house at $350,000 now days and you'll need 4-6 of them. Some of the guys here are leasing theirs out but the houses ar still right next to their house. [/QUOTE]
