[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 1586812, member: 8840"] Fence line weaning is really very simple and easy with a little planning. If you don''t have a good fence to do it, build one. Build a small grass trap in a corner somewhere add a hot wire, if available, to both sides of a good woven wire fence, Feed the cows a little sweet feed from time to time to get them going inside when you call them. Then one day after all the cows and calves are inside, call the cows out with a portable trough (they will coming running), and have someone man the gate to keep the calves inside. Give them good water, a little feed, and since they are already grazing a little they will graze or eat some hay. After a couple days move the cows further away and keep them separate a few months.
