[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1557616, member: 24694"] None, like I mean zero of the ranches I toured in Montana had overly large or obese cattle. I went to the well respected Midland Bull Test where they test over 1100 bulls a year from more than 30 states, and none of the bulls were overly fat. I know exactly what I saw, asked a bunch of why questions, and started altering - culling my herd once I got back home. Those cows in Montana must hustle to survive, some places it's a couple of miles between water holes, and 20 acres per AU. Every cow had a couple of jobs besides trying to survive, and that was to raise a calf and breed back in a 60 day window. Common sense tells me our cattle choices might have something to do with our management practices. [/QUOTE]
