[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1059516, member: 637"] I fence line wean as well, but I looked to see exactly what was supposed to be the difference in weaning by the signs. This is what I found, so I am going to do the experiment. The following article states: [url]http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/06/0614_wireplanting_2.html[/url] I've noticed that dogs want to bark at night when the moon is full because they see everything moving; therefore every dog within hearing distance barks too. Coon hunters take their dogs hunting in the moon light , and when their dogs see the deer, they start chasing the deer as they shoot across in front of them instead of staying on track of the raccoons. Maybe instead of resting, the calves are up and about because of the amount of light stressing over the separation. Although I do fenceline wean, I have noticed that I still have some that get upset because the mamma cow wanders off. There were several other points made in the article that made sense that I had not given much thought to either that made sense. Wean at new moon. [/QUOTE]
