[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 601276, member: 7509"] I tried fenceline weaning on Nov 1 and there was remarkably little bawling. There was a 5 wire barb fence with one additional electric wire on the calf side at about calf nose height. I had a neighbor about 1/2- 3/4 mile away who sold some calves out of the pasture and right off of the cows last week and could hear the cows bawling from inside my shed. Fenceline appears to be the way to minimize the noise. Here are a couple pics. You can see the electric wire on the calf side of the lane fence. Its been 30 days of this nose to nose. I'll be moving the calves to a pasture further away in a week or so. They seem to be much less focused on each other recently even though they still share the waterer.
