The bull calves will get an injection for tetnus when we steer them. About 2 weeks before weaning, I will start to feed the whole herd a small amount of cracked corn to get the calves use to grain. I then move the calves to the barn or feedlot. The hiefer calves will get a Bangs vacination at this time. They are fed cracked corn and hay for 2 weeks. If everything goes fine, the calves that have been sold are off to thier new homes. The ones that remain are fed for 2 more weeks. I then turn them out in the pasture with the horses.
