[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1120240, member: 1682"] Always seemed that there were a lot of whitefaces in the Aleutian Islands cattle herds. A hermit out in the wilds of this area had a wild herd of Herefords. Lived down a deserted dead-end road surrounded by spruce bogs. Had no fences, no corral, no barn. Didn't put up any feed or vaccinate. No minerals or salt. No breeding season or helping cows calve. Cattle survived the winters by travelling miles upon miles into the bogs and eating spruce and cedar boughs. Had a herd of about 30 cows (of the ones they could find) when he sold them all about 8 years ago. Cows and bulls had matured to between the 900-1100 lb mark. Calves at 205 days would have been around the 350 lb mark. A huge load of portable panels and horses had to be brought in to corral everything and load them out. They definitely stuck out in the crowd of the regular sale barn cattle. [/QUOTE]
