[QUOTE="preston39, post: 92298, member: 1487"] Yep...never failed to wean them...let mom do the work..a natural process....they get discouraged quick. Have seen a larger calf butt his mom...thinking she wasn't cooperating...she turned around and downed him...that didn't happen again. Good mom! :lol: When you try it...watch for the tricks...had a calf learned real quick to rotate his head to the side...on the front teats... so the effective part of the halter is toward mom's front......so the halter was rendered ineffective. If that occurs ..we add an additional barb on the sides also....improves the design...some may have them already now...ours are years old...only use them once in a while. [/QUOTE]
