[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1815176, member: 6291"] One more thing I will add about getting new calves, have your pens and every thing ready to go before the calves get there. Have the water, feed troughs, hay and rings, tubd, etc all in there. Have them back up and drop the calves in the pens. Do not turn them straight out to pasture. When they put those calves in the pens, tie the gates shut with rope, and leave them be for 48hrs. Don't work them, or try to mess with them, dont be dragging troughs in afterwards with 10 kids and 2 dogs in tow... just let them settle in. Walk and be sure the water isn't over flowing once a day but after that let them be. Let them know that is home base, that's where they get their food and water, it's not a torture chamber. [/QUOTE]
