[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1838061, member: 39347"] Those are thin cows bought well due to drought-look pretty beef-type somewhere in the woodpile. It doesn’t matter what kind or how cheap or expensive a cow is, to expect (or demand) them to survive on nothing is bad management and really poor stewardship. Output depends on at least minimal input of a food source, water, and a place to hide somewhat from the elements. You’re right, it would hurt more for a more expensive cow to die than a cheap one, but you shouldn’t skimp on necessities for either. I think part of your profit on your cows is that you bought low and added value, then sold high. Dave’s business model depends on using resources available but he still picks as good of animals as possible to do it with, and despite running wide open BLM land, he does manage them with access to the necessities. Living things don’t stay that way well without the basics. [/QUOTE]
