We had 185 Angus cows and their calves on this pasture, and eight bulls.  Before the summer was over, we doctored 35 cows and 10 calves for foot-root, and two bulls.  We got just a little more roping practice than I wanted.  The pasture was on both sides of the Niobrara River.  The cattle drank out of the river, out of springs, and there were a couple electric wells involved up on top.  This pasture was "fresh" as it hadn't had any cattle in it for the two preceding summers.  There was a lot of old grass, of course, and the new grass came up nicely.  I don't think the cattle were as content as they would have been if there wasn't so much old grass in the pasture.
