[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1301000, member: 17986"] Welcome to the forum. First I would keep the horses away from the cattle. Some horses pasture with cattle, some chase cattle. Either way, horses generally make cattle nervous. Stressed cattle do not gain well. Horses are feed aggressive and will chase cattle away from feed. If I was getting into the cattle business right now I would buy some young thin cows. Deworm them, get them on good feed and hope they were bred. Buy or borrow a bull if they come in heat. A neighbor has been buying thin young cows at grinding price, getting them straight and bred then selling them as long bred replacement cows. He is making more money right now than anyone I know.
