[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1042247, member: 18945"] Depends on the breed--and the forest. Around here, people run eared cows in the woods all the time. The don't get fat, but they don't lose much either. It's surprising what a hustling cow can find to eat in woods--if there's any brush to it. Just trees tho, might be slim pickings. I do have some woods left, and try to save it for late fall early winter. The grass that's in there doesn't die off with the 1st couple of frosts, as the brush and trees holds the heat in and the frost settles on the taller stuff till a hard freeze comes along. There used to be thousands of cattle running this National Forest here till they did away with open range. Everybody's cows and bulls all mixed up together, and before long, they all started looking alike--just long rangy horned xbred cows. [/QUOTE]
