[QUOTE="EIEIO, post: 172761, member: 1947"] D.R. Cattle if my idea sounds at all possible but there may be a problem with the pasture use around the calving pasture try this. Next year the pasture your cattle will be calving on divide it into 1/4 sections. When they start calving move the mama's and calves onto a 1/4 using poly wire and step in posts to keep them away from the ones that have not calved. Tag them then. By the time your at your last 1/4 you will be down to either your late or open cows and will have an idea on what to cull. Easiest way is just to already have your ground rods driven in and then just move your wire, charger, and posts. I've used this practice while grazing stockpiled fescue and don't know why it would not work in your situation as long as you are able to control your cattle and get them where you want them to go. I'm sure water will be an issue with that many cows and the ammount of land I'm sure will be involved but the investment in adding some water lines may well be worth it. Since I don't know your landscape it may not be possible but it's just an idea. J [/QUOTE]
