[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 882616, member: 14282"] A move we made in August with the commercial cows and our small band of ewe lambs, a 4 mile move at a liesurely pace, keeping them paired and making sure they are paired and settled before we leave them in the destination pasture. Prevents any run backs or mis mothering and upet cows or calves. It took me many years to learn to take time to save time. A slow start making sure evry one is paired.
