[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 625957, member: 5956"] Because you'd never have cattle so thin, presumably, but is it therefore unacceptable for someone else to do so if they are looking for assistance? In some seasons, at the end of winter, a few weeks before calving, my cattle have looked awful. Then the grass grows, they calve, feed them well, get back in calf, look glossy and healthy and go on. I often look at pictures here and think, how can people keep their cattle so FAT? A fat cow on my place indicates an animal which doesn't have the balance right in terms of keeping the fat on [i]her [/i]back, or feeding it to her calf - or she's dry. This year I'm destocking a bit, so maybe I'll see things differently next year. :) [/QUOTE]
