[QUOTE="twabscs, post: 709229, member: 2004"] Thanks all for the great comments. Here are some more details: 1) They drink directly either from the ponds or creeks. During the winter they use the concrete waterers, but it's still pond water. 2) Distance to water is larger at the bigger parcel as it has larger ponds, but farther apart. On the smaller parcel, water is probably within 150 yards no matter where you are. Maybe 300 yards on the larger one. 3) Parasite load is one interesting point. 4) One other point, the smaller parcel has had cows on it for 50+ years, not tilled during that time. The larger parcel has had some tilling on most of it within the last 20 years. It was in alfala, beans, corn, etc., but it's been pasture the last 15 years. 5) Rainfall for the last 2 years is similar at both parcels, approximately 45 inches/year. [/QUOTE]
