[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 500690, member: 4353"] If you have to wean now I'd take this pair and another pair and feed both pairs some grain in a long feedbunk so that the calves can also start to nibble on some grain. Once they get a taste for it start putting the grain in a creep feeder and make sure there is always grain available and that its very palatible with only natiral proteien and no urea. You can then either fenceline wean or put a wean nosering in both calves, after a few days you can just take the cow you're selling away. The calf will bond with the other cow to a certain extent and won't holler for weeks for her dam this way. Be prepaired to feed her heavily for a long time to get optimum results. [/QUOTE]
