[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 180735, member: 1485"] I'm kind of curious: how many modern ranchers put their herd out to pasture and rotate pasture land on a regular basis? If that's still common, is it regional? Only reason I ask is because the few ranchers I know of in the eastern part of the state keep their cattle in a yard and bring feed to them. But it seems like out west, the tradition has been to move cattle around to pasture land (thus all the cattle guards). I'm sure a year like this year where the grass didn't grow it didn't matter how much pasture land you had. But I can imagine that ranchers who took out pasture land for cash crops that never flourished and had no backup for feed sure were put in a pickle. It comes to mind as the last time I was in Bowman I was absolutely blown away by the amount of standing corn down there in areas that were almost all pasture or small grains in years prior. [/QUOTE]
