[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 686538, member: 6291"] I don't understand how you can justify spending thousands of dollars on interior and exterior fencing, hay barns, and fancy working pens when you are just getting started. If you are talking about making money, you will be lucky to not go under in the time period when the cattle are trying to pay themselves off... much less if they are trying to pay off thousands of dollars in fences and such. In my opinion, until your cattle are paid for all you should be concerned with this: -keeping the cattle alive -getting the calf off the mother to the auction barn. That takes a circle with a chute and 3 gates max -keeping the cattle on the property (alot of patching can be done for the price of a new fence) [/QUOTE]
