[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1824754, member: 25884"] We ALWAYS leave a cow, or a couple of cows, with the weaned calves. Like [USER=5381]@bird dog[/USER] said, it brings security to the calves as a whole... Cows usually will come to call, so will lead the calves into the barn to the feed bunk and they learn much quicker... and it is usually cows that will be shipped or are behind on timing at the preg check..... the only ones that will make a little more noise, later, are the ones that the "shipped cows" are on... but they have also learned to come in the barn to the bunk so get over it by hanging out with the ones that have accepted the weaning... We started doing that and it made weaning nearly stress free.... seriously. Seldom ever have a calf trying to get back to the cows now... A week or 2 later, or whenever we decide to do something with the cows in there, no one seems to get too upset... [/QUOTE]
