[QUOTE="egbert, post: 7950345, member: 9965"] Most of my SDs would be housed for their first winter as weanlings, then never come inside again. 100" of rain, grouped 17-18 adults to a round bale of moderate silage. We usually fluke the cows -but not always- and that's the only meds most ever see. Very seldom have much bother calving - although to be fair mine are seldom fat. (same comment with feet) They're just fantastic...the best kept secret in UK cattle farming! you asked about how they sell. Locally here, where they're very well known (Westcountry) they're always [B]very[/B] sought after. Elsewhere, if you're selling stores/calves, it's possible they might get pigeonholed with unusual natives. (but size and growth aren't exactly bad selling points) [/QUOTE]
