[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1715004, member: 6291"] I do not like fence line weaning. It takes longer for our cows and calves to get back to their normal routine. I like to haul them completely off to a separate property to wean. Having other calves that are already weaned where you are taking the weaned calves does help a lot. They tend to fall in with the group and go to feed, water, and grass faster and just handle better in general. We were late getting to one place this year and a couple cows had calved already. It was very touchy to get them worked and separated. Had on momma trying to get under a gate and raising hell to get back to her calf. You had to keep an eye on them at all times. When we weaned some of the bigger calves off I held them in the pen for 48hrs until the truck came to take them. Those calves mommas got in the corner of the pasture and hung out there and balled back and forth until they were gone. When the calves were hauled and gone, they went back out grazing with the herd.
