[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1097647, member: 5381"] Mine are all 60-90 miles from the house. Like CB I have a small house where I stay for a few days at a time. I try to get everything taken care of in that time but you always have problems. I make the trip about every 10 days. It helps to have mid-size, (or larger) gentle, older cows that are well fed. A good low calving weight bull is essential. Sure you will occasionally lose one but that is the price you have to pay if you live close to a big city where lease land is non-existent and and land to buy is very expensive. Good neighbors and good fences go a long way and any cow that gets out more than once usually gets shipped. Bulls are usually more a problem than cows. More than once I have arrived to check the cows and have the bull meet me on the road side of the gate wanting to come home. You take the good with the bad. [/QUOTE]
