[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1834665, member: 39122"] I wasn't saying criollo were less likely to have calving trouble, was saying they are cheap enough that if you do lose some to that it's not a major loss financially like good beef heifers or cows. Around here you'll rarely find good cattle that are not checked daily because most are small operations, the ones you'll find that aren't will be criollo, brimmer X or just plain raggedy and usually a little wild. We do have some around like the person in the original post that want to play weekend cowboy and can throw money at their cattle and not worry about profit and only show up every once in a great while to tend them. It's very different in this part of the world than yours, very few big places and rarely anyone keeping cattle more than 20-30 miles from home. Growing up I only knew of one full time cattleman in Eastern Arkansas, he run over 150 pairs which is a big operation in Arkansas. He had pastures spread out over about a 40 mile area or more. Kept quite a few on the St. Francis and Mississippi River Levees which was basically a free lease. He told me he checked all of his cows daily if at all possible. [/QUOTE]
