That makes sense. My reply was directed towards Liz. We have a good pen setup, cows pretty much have learned that when they get in pen to cut themselves out. The AARP(a couple of retired guys that help me at workings) and I can split around 200 pairs in about 30 minutes. It is not very...

Ok. I was just checking. It sounds like you use it more for a "PRE"-weaning type deal. Pre-conditioning is after cow is separated from calf, so you are pretty much saying you use them to "prepare" them for weaning and pre-conditioning. Not for weaning and pre-conditioning. Kind of like the...
