Looking to jump into hauling feeder cattle here pretty soon. Have a solid and consistant gig lined up with a local company and trying to get some final things straightened out and could use some advice. I've been trying to find a used cattle pot that is what I want and will work good for me (Wilson, EBY or even Merrit 50-53' Spread, 3/4 Jail, Crank Up Nose) and they are very hard to find in good shape. Every one I find is wore out, and if decent the price seems a little steep for a used pot. What does a new cattle pot like so run price wise? On others experience is it worth it to buy a new pot if the price between new and used is only a couple thousand is the long run? If I plan on running it until it forever or until it is wore out is it worth it, or get a used one and have to fix it up? How did yall start out equipment wise?

All help is appreciated, Thanks!
