[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1832873, member: 6291"] You can run a lot of cattle with the right set up. Had a mentor that ran near 1000 cows basically by himself but he used a lot of contractors. Fence work, cowboys, shredding, all got contracted out. Little to no hay was fed. He had big pastures that you rotate every couple months, lots of tanks for water, etc. Very low maintaince and demanding of time given the volume. He had like one old cabbed tractor, a 32' cattle trailer, and a single cab long bed diesel, but not much else major equipment. Cattle got liquid feed that was delivered as part of the price or ground feed in bulk feeders during the worse part of the winter that also had delivery built in. It's a very interesting deal. He has some tough Braford type cattle but they can be pretty wiley. They don't get a lot of interaction. [/QUOTE]
