[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 449673, member: 2037"] I will actually have a similar situation to some of you here after reading this thread. The land is occupied by my mom and her husband, both healthy adults that have some experience with dealing with cattle. They used to have 12 head out there and after they(the cows) got too old they sold them and never bought more. That’s why I am looking in to putting more out there. I’m not taking advantage of them living out there but it will be nice to have them there to keep an eye on them for me. One of my other concerns is this, the wintertime, we have good shelter out there and a couple ponds so watering wont be an issue until it starts to freeze but I am concerned on feeding them. Do they need to be fed every day of the week on cubes? We have plenty of access to hay so I was going to pay a neighbor to put a round out as needed. If they will need to be fed once a day I’ll also find a younger neighbor to feed them daily as opposed to having my parents do it or driving out there. Plans are in process to move closer to the farm, due to my full time job I wont be moving too close as that is farther away. [/QUOTE]
