I think the size of the drop vs the size of the bucket does not warrant much change.
It is a bit reminiscent of our operations in the gulf.
My in-laws owned a small ranch on the NE/SD border north of Chadron, NE, that they leased to a local rancher. He said that he factored in the loss of four or five head of cattle to rustlers each year. Although he never came out and actually said that the rustlers were coming out of the Pine Ridge, he made it clear that was what he thought.
Yes. That is absolutely what happened.
You dont, under any circumstances, take your fat dry cows or yearlings to the Rez in the fall.
They give the worthless freezer burnt buffalo to the dogs and eat your steers!
