[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1821350, member: 24816"] Most of them haven’t been in a barn except at working times at this point. I typically keep them inside the barn for a week at first after weaning then let them out into a lot and let them come in and out. They get acclimated to coming in pretty well then. Before weaning, I feed the cows and calves in a lot every once and a while through the summer, daily in winter, and they get used to eating and weaning isn’t as hard in them if they are already eating some grain. They do tend to gentle down after weaning. This morning separating the older cattle from the calves, we had some yearling heifers in the group and opened the driveway door of the barn and they came right on in. The calves are a bit harder, usually helps to get a cow or two with them and put some feed in the barn and try to keep them following the cows in. [/QUOTE]
