[QUOTE="The Ruminant, post: 6766722, member: 487"] Greg was doing it this way when I visited him back in 2011 (gulp!) He ran all his yearlings, 2-yr-old and older bulls as one big mob. At breeding time he turned the whole lot in with his mob-grazed cows and, as others have said, the strongest and fittest got the most cows. I’m not sure I’m a big fan of this method, preferring @hendrebc’s example of choosing the best. I was listening to a Gabe Brown interview the other day and have read some stuff about Kit Pharo’s ranch. They both select bulls from their oldest cows. Because they cull any empty cows, this means that the older cows are the ones that have survived under their particular range conditions and have bred back every year without fail. Hence they are genetically the most fertile cows in their herds under their own conditions. [/QUOTE]
