[QUOTE="Cows 'n grass, post: 7329386, member: 1711"] My uncle used to work for Simplot on there breeding improvement program. It was a good 10 years ago at that time they ran 5000 Angus suck cows on hill ground classified as high mountain desert in Idaho. The best were bulled to Angus as replacements and all the rest went to Charolais. They we're running about 1 cow per 10ha with virtually zero intervention until the calves were rounded up in the autumn and brought into the feedlot. All work was done in horseback. I always wanted to go out there with him but never made it. [/QUOTE]
