[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1231270, member: 14661"] A RANCH THIS BIG AND YOUR ASKING QUESTIONS LIKE THIS ?????? I think this topic is a joke :banana: I'm done with it have better things to do than tell a 20,000 acre rancher how to handle wild cattle, should have got this worked out before you turn cows out on 20.000 acres.. way to fishy for me[/quote] In most of the west we run acres to the cow and not cows to the acre.
