[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1568914, member: 37967"] I’ve been given a hard time about “pampering my cattle” but we did not lose a single one this winter. No dead calves. No sick cattle AT ALL! I’ve been ridiculed for being “too hard” on my fellow cattlemen in Kentucky. The way I see it, if possible, your cattle should never see a bad day. If you scale your operation at the expense of herd health, then you don’t have a sustainable plan. Scale back down till your herd is able to be healthy. I had a call the other day for hay, I’ve told BR the story, the guy told me that he had not fed hay since January and he was worried his cattle wouldn’t make it till the grass came on. I think what he was trying to say was, they are on the verge of dying and maybe a bale of hay will keep them alive for a few more weeks or so. That’s not animal husbandry. [/QUOTE]
