Winters in the Intermountain West are often long and severe, and present real problems to most livestock ranchers. Both operating costs and livestock losses during this period can be very high while incomes are low or non-existent. How to efficiently sustain the herd through this difficult period is one of the central problems of cattle ranching in this region.
