Kind of the original high stocking density/short duration rotational grazing scheme, eh?

yes, wildfires and Indian fires set where fuel allowed, no imported nuisance species then.

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.



These poor animals look like Bones with a very Thin Leather stretched so tight around them they look worst that an anorexic girl wearing Spandex
Absolutely no meat to them at all . Heads hanging so low like they could not even hold them up any longer.
if someone had them in a corral they would put them down to save them from the Starvation they were going threw.

Longhorns can be quite vigorous. Just put them on some western Canadian or northern US mountain summer range. I like 'em..Just cowboy up, boys. Mexican fighting bulls can be even spicier. Cross 'em and replace those lazy English breeds.Sleep with one eye open in hunting camp....just a thought

We have quite a few winter BLM grazing allotments.
