[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 449992, member: 2308"] That is a good point. Our cows are only [b]summered [/b]away from home. They go to pasture in May, and come home in the fall. This year it will be tomorrow, last year they came home in September. I wouldn't consider wintering cows more than 1/2 hour from home, and preferrably within 5 miles of home. depending on how many, and how you are feeding. It would be way too expensive to travel back and forth every day, and with our winters you need to check at least every other day. For calving, I want my cows as close to home as possible. I have travelled 1/2 hour to check calving cows, it is not fun. You worry when you aren't there, and it costs a lot to travel back and forth otherwise. Different climates mean different management techniques. [/QUOTE]
