NW Wisconsin
Big boys will tell you TMR. IMO I have a full time job and nothing beats a self feeder.... There are guys that feed 100 head out on a self feeder. Depends on how much time you have and the availability of other feed sources nearby.
Silage is cheap but I think you would struggle to get weight on them quick enough. Im up north winter is a huge cost imo with bedding and rate of gain during cold spells. I would rather combine the corn for grain and feed that with a pellet and leave the cows on the stalks for free food for them.

Will you be buying feeders or will you be doing cows to to get your feeders?

Not including land you should be able to get a pretty good set up for less than 100k
