[QUOTE="colleen, post: 1042451, member: 13004"] We are not taking them to a sale barn. A guy came and looked at them Monday and is coming back Saturday to pick up 2. I advertised on this local livestock site. Another guy saw the pictures of a couple of our other heifers I posted for sale and he wants them sight unseen and will be here Saturday also. The calves are fat and healthy but come Saturday after all the crying and pacing they will be a few pounds lighter for sure!! I think it's harder on me than them!! We only get 10 calves a year. More of a tax/hobby thing. A lot go to 4H kids to show and I try to avoid the sale barn. If I can I find someone else to buy the rest. My husband prefers the sale barn. Much simpler. We sale the calves and that is what we use to pay for our hay. That's about it. I was just wondering if it was necessary to wean if they are riding from one house to another (30 miles). Trying to save myself some stress but I also want what's best for the animals. [/QUOTE]
