No ALX, there still was a quarter of a mile with a cross fence separating them, thankfully. ;-) Also they have a really good herd health and vacc program, which is more than I can say for alot of the herds . So my little herd is still closed .. :wave:

7 of mine went out last month. It was a hard decision on two of them but they needed to go for one reason or another. I was glad to cull the others.
I still need another 55 or so head to get to where things need to be. The kind I am looking for are hard to come by and need to be suited for this triple digit environment. This means a terminal bull is not in the immediate forecast. Hence, there are a lot of nay sayers on here for me as well. They are not in my shoes.
You know your ground. You may have more robust fences to handle critters. Make the most nickels you can off of your unique situation and forget what everyone else thinks. What works for one person may not work for another - in another market.
