They Graze year round up on Arizona State Trust lands
The Cattle are sick skinny and look like walking dead.
no grass to talk about. All they have to eat is Scrub Oak. I do not think they eat the Cedars and Pinion Pine.
One of the Guys that I know up there told me when we were driving around that he Purchased one of the Local Ranchers Cows to eat and show support to the Rancher.
He told me that he could not eat it and he would not even feed it to his dogs it was so bad.
they ground it up and used it as fertilizer. He said he had never tasted anything so foul in his life and tough as rawhide.
That sounds like what the longhorns looked like before they started importing Herefords and other English breeds. I've never eaten longhorn but they sure look scrawny. I know they'd live on pretty sparse ground if they had to.
