[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 790963, member: 14878"] Bringing animals from south to north and especially west to east can be difficult. There most likely will be some environmental lag time. Our Wisconsin pastures are extremely watery and very weak compared to western grasses. Our cattle need very large rumens to hold enough watery feed for nourishment compared to western cattle. One bite of New Mexico grass is probably a whole small bale of our feed. Keep that in mind if imported animals seem to lag a little. I bring my bulls in as young as possible and give them a whole year to adapt. It has worked for me well. I have also heard some real horror stories. [/QUOTE]
