[QUOTE="Bama, post: 107526, member: 1184"] Assuming you are only gonna run 15 you could probally get by with having someone else do the bushhogging for you. If you feed hay you could get it delivered to you and set it in a way that you could move a electric fence and give them access to a roll at a time. You will still need some way of catching them. I would recommend that anything you build you look to the future. Build small to start with but look at the ease of adding on later. You will at least need a headgate. Its hard to vaccinate without one. You could use this same alley to load out into the trailer. A small pen to feed in with a gate to lock them in. A small gate to kinda sweep them into a short chute before the headgate. This is only the basics you will have to have. It could be added on later as needs arise. A tractor would sure be handy as most of the jobs you may do dictate their use. The local salebarn around me even let folks use their trailer free, this may be something you could look into in your area. That way you wouldn't even have to have that. If you looking into expanding you will have to expand your facilities as well. [/QUOTE]
