[QUOTE="dun, post: 818143, member: 34"] Something that we've been doing with the calves at weaning is first setting it up so they can go through a gate to get to their grain so they know it's there. After a copule of days we close off the gate and make them go through the alley and chute to reach the grain. Most years it only takes a copule of times and they catch on. Lasy year they never got the idea, but they never seemed to get the idea about just coming up for grain either. All it takes is a leader to get them started, some years it seems like there isn;t a leader. The heifers that we end up keeping almost fight to get into the alley. Sure makes it handy come AI time or when we need to work them. [/QUOTE]
