[QUOTE="fitz, post: 124913, member: 1306"] I usually try to wean according to the Almanac. This month (Sept) it says to wean 1st-3rd or 25th - 30th. But last week after reading about the fence line weaning I thought what the heck, I'm going to try it now. I put a six (6) month old heifer on the opposite side of four strands of barbed wire from her momma with some other stock. Went O.K. most of the day. That evening I moved the group beyond two (2) strands of hot wire for the night. Heard some bawling but it didn't last long. Next morning early I found the heifer with mom. She had done the hot wire & barbed wire and was having breakfast. Today she went to market with some steers I had planned to take. I'm going to try the fence line thing again with some others, but I think I'll wait until the 25th.and see if that helps. fitz. [/QUOTE]
