Once a week most of the year. Fall cows may go a month or more during the summer but that’s a function of the pasture we put them on.
Winter is every few days as long as water is open.
This previous year we had to have someone check every day through calving season as well.

We always rode heifers and first calf heifers three times a week during calving season. Tried to stay out of them as much as possible but still monitor them for any issues. We tried to ride our cows once a week, but no guarantee we'd see them all anyway, just do our best.

I have to check them daily in the summer due to watering needs. Its the most peaceful part of my day.

good luck. Whats the nature of his heart problem if it isn't a private matter? Thanks GB. A-fib/A-flutter. Pacemaker was an epic fail: pneumothorax (punctured his lung), calibration was wrong, stitches still perforating the incision site, constant pressure. Pacing 45% of the time down from 85% (typical A-fib 2% - 5%) but upped his meds 4 times to the highest possible dose, which kicks his butt. Pick your battles? Ablation is his best chance of a relatively normal life. He's just a hot mess! I guess you are familiar then with the phrase "an irregularly irregular heartbeat". I have a bout of Afib about every 3-5 days, usually at night. I can usually get synched back into sinus rhythm enough not to head for the E-room, by intentionally coughing or jumping into a very cold shower. Ablation was an option but I decided not to do it. I did tho, let them put the Watchman Device in my heart in 2017 to minimize stroke risk, since most strokes are caused by a clot being displaced from the LAA during afib. www.watchman.com/en-us/how-watchman-device-works.htmlIt may or may not be applicable to his afib. This is the guy that did mine: drafib.com/blog/2018/12/6/can-a-watchman-procedure-reduce-my-risk-for-stroke

Since his ablation is for both chambers would that in essence take place of the Wachman/similar results?

Either rotating every day in our intensive grazing or feeding hay every day so either way, every day.

Either rotating every day in our intensive grazing or feeding hay every day so either way, every day. In the winter every 3rd day unless days are below freezing then as required to keep water available. Once the bred heifers start calving we check them twice a day but they are only a half mile from the house. During the summer once a week. In the pastures with windmills only we check them more frequently during times of little wind.

Couldn't imagine dealing with frozen water on a regular basis.

Couldn't imagine dealing with frozen water on a regular basis. Lucky you! Only one of our pastures doesn't have a heated water source so I'm all Paulette Bunyan with my pick ax. Ice was rotten thick one morning and as I was bent over cutting a hole one of my heifers popped me in the ass & sent me flying across the pond like a hockey puck. Still clinging to my ax. Amazed I didn't go through and had to do a combo crab-walk/slug-slide back to the bank. Was wet & still had no footing so I had to stick my boot in the hole I just cut to get out. Didn't occur to me to pull up the leg of my bibs first. Fortunately no neighbors witnessed the event but there was a lot of mooing from the peanut gallery.

We do have our own challenges here. Today, I think it would be easier to breathe through a bowl of soup than it is outside.
