[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 651631, member: 7645"] Exactly, Knersie I used to do a lot of catching/hauling cattle for people. More than once, I got called out to places where 1) they hadn't sold ANYTHING in two or three years 2) they really did not know whether a cow had calved or not 3) they never castrated ANYTHING and 4) the bulls ran with the cows year round. My job would be to catch everything for the guy and help him descide which ones he needed to load. The 10 to 28 month old intact bulls being the obvious priority. We would cull the obvious culls, sell all the calves older than 5 months, and any heifers that weren't obviously late preggies. I would try to leave him with a respectable looking group of hopefully bred mature cows and two year old heifers and a bull or two. In two or three years later, somebody else would repeat the process. Herds like that is probably where most of the preggie feeders come from. [/QUOTE]
