[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 104372, member: 539"] This one is tough, but I'll give it a shot. A good cattleman understands a multitude of things - grass management, identifying undesirable forage (and knowing how to get rid of it/prevent it), how to tell a calf will be sick tomorrow, what to look for in a cow/bull/calf and what to make sure is not there, how to manage his/her herd for optimum results, knowing each animal and being able to tell them apart even in a herd where all the critters are the same color, knowing what an animal is most likely to do in any given situation, understanding the cow 'mentality' so to speak, making sure his/her animals are always taken care of regardless of how deep the snow is, never leaving his/her animals if there is a problem, never leaving his/her problems for another to deal with, and finally having a soul-deep love of ranching and the cows. I'm sure I've left some things out, but this is a start. [/QUOTE]
