[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1710343, member: 5381"] To clarify things, I would not try weaning either if all I had was a small (dry) lot to put them in. Putting them on pasture even if its sorry will keep them much healthier. I have not ever lost any of the calves out of my cows in the last eight years with this method and only one of the calves I have bought. Sure a few have gotten sick over the years but alll have responded to treatment. Three to five days of fence line weaning and then off to the pasture away from the cows. It always helps to have a few already weaned ones out there to show them the ropes and calm down there fears. Even an old dry cow with the newly weaned ones helps out a lot. [/QUOTE]
