They're pretty fertile,vet called them all bred when we pregged them 3 weeks ago.Some may develop foot problems later,that long crooked toe or screwtoe,so far ,so good.
We fence line weaned for the last two years. Both last year and this year I wound up kicking the cows out away from the calves because they seemed to be bawling more than the calves were, which in turn got the calves going. Once I kicked them out where they weren't close to each other it seemed that the calves went to eating better and the cows kind of just forgot about them. I don't know what to think about it. My whole reasoning behind it was to try to keep the calves a little more calm, but it just seemed that they were more worried about the cows causing a ruckus on the other side of the fence. I'm not sure I'm sold on it.
