[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1807668, member: 40587"] Oh, if we had that 223 acres in improved pasture, with well maintained fences, running regular beef cattle that needed vaccinating, worming, calves pulled, and fed in winter, then I would have gotten out long ago. We had the Corr herd calving in February and in March we would round them up....horsesback...ear tag them and cut the bulll calves. I would rope and Scott would band and tag. Around Easter, we'd put the bulls in ......enough for 1 bull per 20 cows. so 5 or 6. Memorial Day weekend we'd get those bulls out and put our Corr bull in for clean=up. Last of August,right before the dove shoot, we rounded then up again and carried the calves to the sale. When ever Scott had gotten in his corn, beans, cotton, peanuts...whatever he had planted, we'd herd them across the road and put them on his 400 acres of row crop residue and the 50 acre dove field. Last of January or 1st of Marche, we'd herd them back across to the Kudzu pasture before calving. Other, than that, we never touched them. Or even saw them .really.
