Frequently Asked Questions
I am interested in putting some cattle in a feedlot. My only previous experience is hauling cattle to the feedlots. I have never fed any or sold any to a feedlot. Can you give me some options on what I can do to reach my goal? I know this is vague but I would like to get into the business and I don't know how.
