[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 819643, member: 4353"] As per Dylan Biggs' request Registered cows on veld. The veld is very acidic and is mostly brush, except for Aug, Sept, Oct and part of November when there is supposed to be grass if it rained that winter. [img]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t303/KNERSIE/veld-1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t303/KNERSIE/100_4400.jpg[/img] It doesn't matter who you are all the cattle gets equal treatment, heifers, first calvers and mature cows graze together, the better cows just seem to handle the conditions better like the two below. Incidently both bull calves was used in the herd, the first one is still here.
