Livestock hauling

whats the difference between fats,feeders or killcows?

 

Feeders are calves or yearlings ready for the feedlot.. Fats are finished cattle from the feedlot ready to go to slaughter. Kill cows are just slaughter cows, usually old, wore out, crazy and mean as hell...

 

hey.... i resemble that last sentence....

 

OMG......

Oh so many things I want to say. Try $250,000 to start. 3 digit truck, forget about fuel milage. You need 4 to start with to make any money. Pill fed drivers, latest in radar jammers, and a lot of luck.
After a year you need 8 to recover from the last year. Look somewhere else. Like hauling "Shine" but it unloads it's self. Don't beleve me, try it.

 

I know that handle, you must be near 75 by now!

 

ok I am getting into the cattle hauling business. I used to dispatch for car haulers. But I wanna haul cows. I love the 1967 Peterbuilts omg the round head lights and smoke stacks jack brakes and the chicken lights I love to see en running down the road other than the love of it I have no idea what the heck I’m doing getting ready to purchase a rig and I’m a chick so any advice would be extremely nice or opinions rather or not I should even consider this. Recently divorced my ex husband says I’m stupid. He’s from over seas. I’m from Texas and with the last name bush what better business I was born for the cows life’s. They say horse ppl don’t know jack about cows. Well lemme raise my hand bc from the hoof to the withers on a horse and I’m your farrier your vet whatever by the cattle business I’m clueless. Help. Seriously

 

Jake brake not jack

 

So why does he want you to finance it and not the bank if i was a gambling man i'd bet good money the banks won't even look at this prospect as they have different risk factors when accessing how much money you need down and what they'll lend eg for borrowing on hotels your required to have at least 50 % deposit cause its considered a high risk industry so trucking may be considered even higher personally i'd stay well clear unless you get him to put you as first mortgage on his house.
