[QUOTE="dun, post: 1304924, member: 34"] When we ran cows on range in the foothills we only saw them every couple of day (if we were lucky). We tagged them as we found them. Roped the calves if needed, and the cows too sometimes to keep them off of whoever was tagging. We didn;t have a lot of management, a cow might go a year without weaning a calf. Frequently we didn;t know at weaning which calf belonged to who. That 35-40 years ago. Now we don;t run near as many cattle and not on range. We're more interested in bettering the product we're producing now then we were then. When we would gather the cows to pull them of the lease, if we caught most of them and got them removed we felt we had done a pretty good job. Some would die, some would just be so buried in the junk that we wouldn't see them for a year. But that was then and this is now. [/QUOTE]
