[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1643069, member: 39695"] If you only have two I'd use the nose flaps, they work awesome on calves that age. I always like to feed my cull cows for 30 days or so after weaning. Cows that stand around and bawl tend to loose weight, and cows with full udders don't bring as much as dry cull cows. I'm going to try fence line weaning again. I'm not a big fan, but I had cows travel 1/2 a mile last fall to get back in with there calves. Another thing, (I didn't believe it til I tried it. Now I'm a firm believer) wean by the dark of the moon. The calves bawl less and get over weaning sooner. [/QUOTE]
