To see the economics of running cows versus mares all things considered. We run both pretty hands off but the operating cost on a mare is pretty cheap and they last easily twice as long as a cow. Every mare we exposed raised a foal even a couple that broke down and had an illicit liason. My two biggest colts are off 21 year olds. I think in country where your brood band can paw out it would be interesting. I've got cattle moving in beside me on the back half of our place-I think I might just get a fairly sharp pencil and see if it might work just to use that grass for horses and run cows out on our tame stuff. The kicker with cayuses is getting them marketed at any kind of money of course.
