We purchased our Rawhide 10 years ago and it has completely changed our operation. We run 600 cow/calf pairs and 500 yearling and we also do custom work with the Rawhide. We live in Minnesota where we have small pastures (30+). What used to take 4 to 5 people now takes 2 people. My son Jacob and daughter Eva do most of the work with it. We are a family operation that really enjoys the Rawhide. I do believe it paid for itself in 2 years. I wish I could say that about other equipment that we buy.
