Thoughts on transporting and unloading heifers that won't need working, just acclimating. Unload into an acre trap with water or directly into pasture? Two trailer loads - ten in each trailer. Thanks!

Any time you train animals wether its dogs, cattle, horses... you always start in the most controlled atmosphere. When you are confident you move to a slightly large space with a little more freedom. If they relapse you go back to a confined space... or get rid of them. If they do good you move on to larger spaces. ;-)

Brute is right on here.
You turn those Brimmer girls directly out in a pasture and you might not see some of them ever again.
ive seen em unloaded at what was suppose to be their new home,, but apparently nobody explained the boundries.. because the only thing on their mind, was getting as much real estate behind them as possible :lol2:Caustic Burno":1megn1w3 said:Brute 23":1megn1w3 said:Preferably in to pens for a couple days in case some need to go right back.
