[QUOTE="mitchwi, post: 224767, member: 2063"] Put up electric, if you are doing rotational... you will find they get used to easy pickings when put into a new pasture, and as soon as they have to work for it a bit, they will start pushing on your fences.... save the fences and your labor efforts electric fence is quite economical. Also, the pen holding I think bcox was telling you about was more of a quarantine.... protect your cattle already in the field, and able to watch and treat if necessary if anything develops in the new cattle. I tend to lean to 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the time of year and disposition... just remember what could be caught at the sale barns.... kinda like taking your kid to the doc's.... if he wasn't sick when he got there, he will be by the time you leave! ;-) [/QUOTE]
