[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1652998, member: 968"] I fence line wean my calves. Calves are put in a field that they have been in numerous times with dam throughout the summer. Yes, they bawl for maybe 3 days, but not a lot (Mom & right next to them). I do not see any weight loss. No, I don't weigh them because I don't want to stress them. I have a fairly good eye. They stay good and full. They have pasture, great 2nd cut dry hay, and a water supply they are used to drinking out of. I give all their vaccines in June and again in July - so I do not have to run them thru the chute until they are very content at being weaned. If your calves are that stressed that they lose 50#, they should gain it back quickly. It would just be tissue shrink. [/QUOTE]
