[QUOTE="CowboyRam, post: 1714837, member: 42312"] Here is my experience with fence line weaning. Day one: Sort calves off cows, we loaded them all up in the stock trailer to get a average weaning weight. Dump them in the pasture, they go right to grazing, but the cows on the other side of the fence a bawling their heads off. Put out a couple of the Sweet-Pro cattle kandy with stress relief for the calves, and loose mineral for the cows. Day two: In the morning everything is Jake, all looks good. go back mid afternoon to put out a salt block, the cows broke the chain on the gate. It was one of those chains you would use to chain up a little dog, broke at the weld. Get the cows and calves in, sort one more time; turn out the cows, get them where they are supposed to be, and then turn out the calves. Day Three: The calves are out grazing, just a few are hanging on the fence with near the cows; most of the cows are out grazing with a few on hanging on the fence. I was kind of skeptical that it would, so far the new electric fence we put this summer is holding the calves in and the cows out. We will see how day four goes tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
