[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 225521, member: 2862"] Dun also brought up, in another thread, what I think is an important point: During drought conditions he supplements his calves. While you certainly want the cow to raise that calf, we're the turkeys who have fenced those cattle in, and domesticated them. Therefore, we have to take some responsibility for their health and well being. If there isn't enough feed available due to conditions, I think its the responsibility of the owner to make it available. I remember seeing some starving cattle on TV a few years back. The cattle owner was wringing his hands, fretting about no rain. The price of oats was 55 cents/bushel at the time, and the price of calves was high. So for about 15 bucks/calf he could have eased the stress and suffering of those animals. Rod [/QUOTE]
