[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1062829, member: 637"] This is just a reminder to anyone that wanted to try weaning by the signs, it starts tomorrow. I was getting ready to pull mine out around the 1st, and thought I could wait a few more days since it stated that October 10th was the 1st day to begin weaning. Now that I know the reason is because the light is low, and they will bed down at night and not be walking the fence looking for their mamma's, stressing out, it makes a bit more sense. I have one heifer I have trouble getting up in the lot as the others started coming through the squeeze hole in the gate I fastened just wide enough for them to enter in to eat feed. Her mamma will not walk in the lot when I open the gate all the way either because she is leary of what goes on when she gets inside. I see that I will be spending some time outside tomorrow with the gate open waiting for the two of them to walk through. :( Separating them by myself will be twice as much fun. I am not so sure that Buster will be of any help on this project as this cow is the head nurse maid. [/QUOTE]
