[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 700488, member: 7509"] This fall will be just my second weaning so it's not like I'm an expert or anything like that but I agree with you - most cows seem happy to have the calves off of them. Calves seem content as long as they can see mom. I had almost no noise last year at weaning time. I do have a 5 barb wire with electric on the calf side between them since I was expecting the worse. If a single electric wire works that would be nice - offer more options. Thanks for the picture and information. Jim edit: here's picture of mine at weaning time from last fall. I did the same thing at preg check time - just let them out of the chute and into different fields, one on each side of the fence and waterer. Fenceline weaning seems to work. The cow in the picture closest to her calf is an especially good mom - not noisey just like she's checking on her steer calf.
