[QUOTE="Lon, post: 879910, member: 16174"] wouldnt be as hard as most people think as long as you start cought up. i calved out 600 head working for my uncle and his father in law with no help from either of them and still had time to see family have fun and help my dad out. working the calves and shots you would get help but other than that its doable. especially if you have good range cattle that can graze through most of the winter. we run alot on winter grazing and when it snows up we turn into square bales baled and left in the pasture that way they can gid them out and eat. better quality feed than just dry winter grass and you dont have to start a tractor. than you just mostly cake them and keep an eye on them. calving season is a full time job weither you have 300 head or a thousand head you have to ride them all the time. only difference is more calves to tag and a chance for more problems but again select for a good range cow and start calving late enough you dont have to worry so much about snow. haying would be a chore for that many head but again if you can graze most the winter than you take care of alot of that. i guess i have seen a good cowboy (my dad) make 500 head easy and i have seen a person who thinks they know it all make 100 head look like a undoable chore. just kind of depends on what your used to and how your set up.
