Could someone please describe the process, equipment, facilities and manpower to move 40 head from pasture to pasture?
Here is the equipment I got in mind -
1. Stock trailer
2. Truck
3. Portable loading ramp
Facilities
1. Portable or fixed loading ramp
2. Portable or fixed corral
Manpower
1. Truck driver
2. Drover (Is it routine that a man can do the loading single handed?)
Process
1. Go out there and do it
What am I missing? How often would I plan to move stockers from rented pasture to rented pasture? Say 40 head on forty acres of decent cool season grass in north east Arkansas... How many times could I hit that 40 with 40 head, per year, average year, some rain, not one of them hard drought years?
