[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 681389, member: 5559"] After much reading and research on the best way to wean..I decided to take the cold turkey approach. I was prepared for blubbering and such, but had NONE. Momma cow went to the next town over to be bred, calf is staying in a pen with my other heifer. Simply loaded them both up on the trailer, drove over to the pen, used a panel to block the cow and unloaded the calf. Cow came off the trailer at the bull's place calm as a cucumber..I mean very calm. I was extremly pleased with how easy and low stress it was on both my cows and myself. Just reinenforced the fact that working cattle calmly, even in stressful situations, really makes it a less painful experience for everyone. thanks for those who offered advice in the weaning threads..While I did not comment, I read and learned. :) I am liking this calf more each day. will wait and see what she does. she is almost 6 months old, photos taken the day after weaning.
