[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1795119, member: 39018"] Yeah, my guess would be that without the "finish" that a full on beef gets coming into winter, they might survive, but would end up pretty thin come spring. I only feed hay/winter stockpile, critters never ever see a barn, and my dairy/beef crosses have a hard time with it. Slowly working my way out of them... first couple of winters I lost a few ner'do-wells, but this winter, which was considerably more difficult than the last few, I never had a single one get sick, or want to lay down on me. Natural selection... if they can't make it, they don't belong here. Haven't had any wormer or vaccinations on my herd either... just grass.... but it's not "waste land" like you're running on... mine is ALL converted row crop land... so right now it can command a pretty high rent value if I want to pursue it... even more so, because of the "regenerative practices" that I've been using now for almost 10 years. I reckon I'll just stick with the nice round blacks........:) Thanks for the info though... always considering "angles"! [/QUOTE]
