[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1606385, member: 968"] Makes sense now. I have never had to try to ID a calf after birth, because everything is done at birth (other than tattoos), so was not on "my radar". Separating for 12-14 hours shouldn't cause a health issue. But, the program to trigger a cow to come into heat, is keeping them separated for 48 hours - http://animalscience.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2012/04/beef-calf-removal.pdf I have a hard time weighing the benefit of this program vs the potential nightmare of calves over-eating - both potential grain while separated and glut milk when back together. Edit: several of you are aware of the newsletter I put out for my breed association 5 times a year. One of the benefits of being the editor - I put what I "want" or "believe to be beneficial" in it. I have NEVER put an article supporting short term separation in it. LOL [/QUOTE]
