[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1642295, member: 37941"] One of the unexpected challenges I've encountered in my Managed Grazing operation is the lack of walking necessary for the cows. This is a man-made environmental challenge obviously. We've had some good cows break down due to hip and leg issues. And we've had to manage hooves due to lack of wear. The plus side to the drought we've been in has been having the cows walk to the yard to find water. When I first started MIG I spent a lot of time bringing water to the cows. I've stopped doing that just to force them into what is still fairly minimal walking for a cow (compared to western US range cows). [/QUOTE]
