With beef cattle, quite often fencing, some sheds and water sources are all you need, especially if you are wanting to raise a grass-based beef operation, be it finishing beefers on grass or a cow-calf operation. The exceptions are if you are willing to spend extra money on winter feeding costs and supplementing your cows with grain, or if you are wanting to run a feedlot. thanks all!<br />-----------------------<br /><a href="http://www.dairy-software.com/dairy-software-screenshots.html" rel="nofollow">www.dairy-software.com</a>CuteRimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567120204143842681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-57313629547003379152013-06-07T13:43:37.012-05:002013-06-07T13:43:37.012-05:00A beloved animal should have dignity even at its d...A beloved animal should have dignity even at its death.

My father and I would visit friends at the stockyards frequently, and also at the plants. I saw some of those "cull cows" there and the picture has forever stayed with me. You plant a more wonderful picture, Donna, and I appreciate that very much.
