What your neighbor runs are called "stocker cattle." You can learn a lot by Googling that. Your local extension office would be a good place to start as well. Basically all you're doing is putting weight on them, there's a mightly slim profit margin in that, so you can't afford to spend too much on them. Depending on where you are located you need to have a fair amound of pasture (or other cheap feed) for each animal if you want to make any money at it. Like everyone else has said you need fences and way to haul them. Eqiupment like a working chute and loading chute would be nice, but you can survive w/out them if you're not running too many. A good relationship w/ your vet would be good too, they can tell you what vaccinations and maybe growth implants he recommends. Shadowing your neighbor is a great way to learn the practical aspect of it.
