The calves are starting to separate from the mommas. Coming under the hot wire to feed. A few have not gotten into the routine. When they segregate themselves, it makes halter training sessions easier.

Part goat.
If you've trained the calves to go under a hot-wire, how do you stop them doing it as adults?

That is a good question. Fall 2017 retained heifers were trained to go under that hot wire as babies. Now they are 14 months old and getting ready to breed. When I first put that wire up a couple weeks ago, those 2017 fall heifers tried to go under. Once they got Shocked, that game was over. The answer is, they have outgrown the size level that can walk under it.

LoL Instead of wire I want to fence off an area and make the 2 posts as wide as a creep opening is that should keep big cows out.
