[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 65327, member: 43"] Your south Texas cattle should do fine in the high country of New Mexico. But don't take a slick haired, non-butterball cow or bull from way down south and place it in a real cold, snowy environment in the dead of winter. Make the move at a more moderate time of year. And it's not just the volume of grass that counts, but also the nutritional value. It will probably take a lot less volume out west and north to maintain a cow than it does where you're from. Down along the coast we have pretty "weak" grass with a lot of water content. Your grass way down in McAllen may be better than what is found along the upper to mid Texas coast but I would imagine that it is still probably relatively "weak". Heck, you can go to the Texas hill country and see a profound difference in the cattle based on "stronger" grass than what you are probably accustomed to. [/QUOTE]
