[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 895574, member: 8192"] Thanks for the replies. I think the outfit I read about did it with their first calvers. I don't know about the logistics of it for us though.....normally we'd run about 4/5 bulls with the 200 heifers. If we did the 48 hour wean, we'd probably need to put extra bulls in as there are a few watering points in the paddock. Also, we probably couldnt combine the muster with branding and cutting the calves. We wouldnt want to put the extra stress on them. On the plus side, we have the facilities to hold the calves and the heifers are in a paddock which adjoins. It is interesting to think about though and hear others experiences of it. [/QUOTE]
