[QUOTE="Bonsman, post: 666631, member: 8504"] It is interesting to note how many people use hot wires or barb wire to wean. As long as I can remember we have weaned our cattle in lots that have steel post, gates, top pipe, and cable wires. Prior to that, we had wooden lots. We weigh and measure all cattle when they first come int the lot to be worked. Then we keep them in the lot for a week or ten days before we let them out into a small weaning pasture with feed bunks and a 5 wire fence. They get alfalfa, oat hay, and 14% creep feed until they go to the weaning pasture attached to the lots. Then they get creep until they have been weaned 45 days after which they are set free in a larger pasture for breedng purposes or to gain a little more weight, or they are sold. Other than the feed ration during weaning process, we have been doing this for four generations. That is why I like this board. I find out how many different ways there are to do things. [/QUOTE]
