Do you have any yards any feeding equipment?

If answer is no then your in for a long haul. I'd say a nice open yard is going to cost you 400per head space from scratch.

You'll need a reliable loader, a reliable mixer with a nice scale head with printer(more for your customer than you), a good chute and working facilities. Oh plus a spreader or hire someone to spread

All to put maybe 5 to 10 cents in your pocket a day and that's usually not 365 days a year


So let's say you make 10 cents after everything which I wouldn't think you would make that much. If you get a 1000 head for 365 days you'll make 36,500$ then you need to find someone to fill a new feeder with a thousand head.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot of room for new custom guys
