[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1782638, member: 498"] I figure about 5 acres per cow per month. I have 2 out the gate BLM allotments. Both are shared allotments so there are 2 or 3 other ranches who run their cattle right along with any of mine. That can make things interesting come time to gather in the fall. One of my neighbors has a big allotment about 15 miles up the canyon. He drives the cattle up the road. Young calves in the spring don't travel real well so it ends up being 3 days of about 5 miles a day. Most of the canyon is very steep so there are no fences. Cattle are taken to a stopping point and everyone just stops. Some of the lead cows will go a ways until they realizethey aren't being pushed. Eventually they come back looking for their calf. We sit holding the line for several hours against cows or calves want to head back where they came from. The second day stopping point is a bit wider so on the morning of day 3 there will be cows who went across the river. Cowboys horseback with dogs will have to cross the river and get them back on the road to travel. This process is done twice with about 250 pairs each time. [/QUOTE]
