Sounds like a great opportunity. If you're just starting out, custom feeding could be easier since you don't have to buy cattle. You manage someone else's herd and get paid for it. But if you buy your own cattle, you control everything and could make better profits, though it’s a bit more risky and requires good management.
With a 400-head capacity, it’s definitely possible. Just make sure you calculate feed, labor, and cattle costs, and have a plan for selling the fat cattle. If you're ready for the work, it could be a good way to grow over time.
