Outstanding NR.
I am not for abusing/abandoning livestock, but when they are all appropriately fed, and you have a couple that are thinner, and a couple that are fatter, it is called individuality. Thank God we still have that in cattle or else we'd be raising chickens, turkeys, or amoeba.
Any herd of any size, that is well managed, will and should have a majority of their cows in "correct" condition, and a minority of those who are too fat and those that are thinner (and I don't mean emaciated either.)
Soap, I think you're doing fine job of managing your cowherd.
On the NM cows, those are the kind (or more correctly, their owner/caretaker is the kind) that give all of us a black-eye with the general public, who by the way still buy our product BEEF. The day we forget that, is the day we've worked ourselves straight outta a job.
