calling folks with farm knowledge

[thatotherperv]

gah, so while I'm here, I need a lil help. I'm writing this uh, thing. hahaha. set on a cattle ranch in Texas.

what I need is for you to throw me some regular upkeep things for that kind of operation if you will. not necessarily just daily chores, I mean, things like...well, like on occasion you might have to clear brush, or check fencelines, or whatever. if they correspond with a particular season, I'd love it if you could clue me in to timing.

but if you can also give me things that would get done on a daily basis, that would help too.

*smooches*

awesome, thank you for that! by "cut" you mean what, cull for slaughter?

when are pregnant animals separated out from the herd? as soon as it's discovered they're pregnant, or late term, or...I dunno, when they're about to calve?

Cut means castrate. Pregnant animals are usually kept with the heard until they're about to 'drop' the calf/foal/ whatever. Cull is cull, most don't do that around here. They sell every calf.
