Buffalo IL
Since you are in Central IL and so am I and we could still be 100 miles apart. One supplier is Mcgrew Feedlot equipment at AVon IL. and I believe Nichols at Jacksonville has retired( he was harvestore guy) I'm not sure who is in Effingham area. Look at putting up building probably use Kirk buildings at Pittsfield especially if slatted. Cost is probably not mush different than deep bedded. Building size between slatted is 20 sg/ft/ head vs deep bedded at 40 sq/ft/ hd. depends on the weight of cattle you decide to finish. Just remember to compare costs to what it would cost to feed vs retained ownership in feedlot. Look at cost/ head to construct/hd plus operating cost divided by basically $60/ head to have custom fed depending on weight and time for yardage. The biggest advantage in IL is byproduct cost and less delivery charge. We however do not have the slaughter cattle basis.
