[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 25282, member: 39"] It comes down to some basic variables such as size of place you’re grazing, number of places you’re operating, headcounts, etc. If it’s somewhat convenient to get them up then that is the better way. But in a lot of ranching operations trying to catch every springing cow is not practical for one or more reasons. Again, it gets back to why culling is important and first calf heifers are avoided. This time of year I might go several days between counting cows and checking fences on a given place. If a cow is missing and I can’t find her after a reasonable search (and the fences are up) I figure she’s calving somewhere. In most cases I couldn’t find her if I wanted to unless I looked all day long, which I don’t have. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
