[QUOTE="pdubdo, post: 1647013, member: 24024"] Working on weaning 3 calves across 2 strands of electric fence that the whole herd has has been well-trained to....up until now. The 2 heifer calves are doing just fine, but the steer calf is somehow managing to crawl under/jump over/run through-I haven't caught him in the act yet. They are all about 7-8 months. Will he eventually self-wean or do I need to use a calf-weaning ring or some other measure? Mom is bred but continues to hold condition well. Also, everything I've read says keep them apart at least 30 days. But surely their udders dry up faster than this? [/QUOTE]
