[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1069910, member: 1682"] Using the 'blabs' as Bez calls them, having them in the calves, with the cows, for about 6 days or so, up to 9 days, and then pulling the calves and locking them up securely for about 3 days seems to do the trick here. So 2 weeks max. But that's with Herefords. Maybe their spirits are easier to break than an Angus. But with fenceline weaning, the timeline is very long indeed. Biggest thing with the calves is keep them drinking and eating and happy as possible - Mom fades to the background pretty quick. It is one of the only times that a molasses block is good for something. Keep the calves licking one and it preoccupies them. [/QUOTE]
