[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1076445, member: 17986"] Neither our calves or the momma cows say much. The calves are creep fed while in the pen with a roll of hay added. I kept the last group up 2 weeks because they were "notarized" and vaccinated, just wanted to keep an eye on them and the weather was nice. They are now in a weaning pasture with the group weaned prior. They are fed twice a day and have have free choice hay. At 45 days they are ready to be sold depending on the market. When we weaned the old fashioned way, we had a lot of stress shrink. It took a month just to get them back up to snuff. Not so now days. We also no longer have calves running the fence line looking for momma, do not have momma cows doing the same. Fence weaning to me is the best and least stressful way to transition a hard body on a calf. [/QUOTE]
