[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 224717, member: 391"] Yup--- thats the joy of preconditioned calves-- they are turned out together and happy to be together- gave up looking for Mom a long time ago- they are broke to a fence already(need to be away from Mom and on their own before they are truely fence broke)- so unless there is a hole in the fence or there are cattle on the other side tempting them to try the fence they should stay in most decent fences. Cattle being cattle............ If(and or when :) ) they do get out-- it will more than likely be most of the group going thru a hole-- instead of one or two jumping or slipping out. So they are easier to find(more than likely will settle down close-unlike one or two) - and easier to put back as they will move as a group and are used to being handled. Also-- most preconditoners will tell you which calves are just plain trouble- and you can sell them before they ever set foot on your place . Best money you can risk looseing :) All it takes is just one idiot to keep the whole group riled up. Riled up cattle don't eat or convert as well-- [/QUOTE]
