[QUOTE="dun, post: 795350, member: 34"] The key is to have the calves conditioned/trained to electric before you try to use it for serious seperation. After a little calf has been zapped a cople of times either by accident or through it's curiosity they will learn to avoid it. Our calves are in hotwire from the day they are born, After a copule of weeks they don;t go vey close to the wire again and by weaning (single strand at about 28 inches) they know to stay claer. We've only ever had one calf that went though the hot wire to reach it's mother at weaning, she only did it once and didn;t try it again. [/QUOTE]
