[QUOTE="andybob, post: 156619, member: 2703"] Because we used a rotational grazing system, we could count at each paddock change4-6 weekly, the Sanga breeds would always herd in their social groups, with young calves together in 'nursery' groups where the mothers could watch them and move into defensive positions quickly. This made locating them in the bush easier, however, losses were usually located by watching the carrion birds! our cattle were expected to take care of themselves. Neighbours with Bos Indicus and European breeds had to round up and dip their cattle every two weeks in summer, so they had a better oppertunity for regular counts! [/QUOTE]
