[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1307558, member: 9096"] Like Aaron, I wish I could make my cows walk more... In many pastures they aren't more than 200 yard away from the water... I try and make them walk a little in the winter by feeding them as far away from water as I can manage... I might get it up to 3-400 yards. I like it for the same reasons too.. keeps their hooves good, though I find that genetics plays a VERY large role there, and keeps them a little fit and toned as they get ready to calve. About hooves, Yes, herefords definitely need to do more walking to keep the toenails pretty... Since I hardly have any Herf left in my herd, I might clip hooves on one or two animals once every few years.. usually ones that have been stuck in a corral for longer than normal. [/QUOTE]
