[QUOTE="Lon, post: 825692, member: 16174"] well now here the cows will go off by themselves and have a calf away from the bunch and we are a long way from texas and im sure the cattle we run arent texas cattle. we dont have a barn here to put cattle in. it snows alot and get real cold. i tell ya what them cattle will be right in the creek pretty hard when its blowin snow and colder than a butt$*&^ dick up a snowmans a$$ out. if no trees ya can bet they will all crowd behind a windbreak as the same way. i would say wanting to go to the barn would be because they know what it is. if there is no trees or windbreaks (i dont know this cause i have never seen jeanne ranch but assuming if there isnt) than it would be natural for the cattle to crowd to the windbreak the barn would give them and want to go in. if not they would be dumb cattle be like one not knowing to go into the trees here. now i am sure you dont know what the snow is like on cattle so i let ya in on it. its hard on them. you can see a dang good cow loose some condition because she spends most of a week trying to just stay out of that cold snowy wind. you will notice in the cows we run there are some fat ones and some light ones. they get fed the same thing so alot of it is on genetics and age of the cow herself. but when it gets cold enough you sure aint gonna just feed your cattle prarie hay and expect them to get by up here without loosing condition. you better put some cake to her or some alfafa hay to her. cake works great cause then even if it is cold them girls will get out and grub. now we do cake cattle in the winter and i would say i can garuntee at leaste that the few saler cows i got are just as rangy as anything you got running on your place. will they make it in your environment i cant garuntee that but put your cows were we run ours and i am sure they wont come out in any better shape than the few rangy ones i got. i am also willing to bet if i pulled these cattle in cleaned them up new something about showing and had them trimmed than they wouldnt look near as rangy either, but it sure wouldnt make them show cattle that cant turn a buck out in the pasture. :2cents: and as far as the baleage i say to here good job we dont use it but still if she is putting up baylage that is just taking what she has and making the best possible feed she can out of it. would you not do something different if you could increase the quality of your feed without having to buy a supplement.
