What is your neck of the woods? Do you have a close source of quality cattle or will you they have to be trucked in? Are you going to put together groups or buy large strings of cattle? Will you purchase cattle yourself or use an order buyer? How far is it to truck them "out west". Are you backgrounding in a lot or on pasture? What do you need to charge yourself for yardage? Lots of variables that affect profitability there. Sure the market is up now but has the margin changed any? Plus you are at a higher risk of a market downturn.
