[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1840945, member: 6291"] We were going to try fence line weaning these calves by having their moms in the pasture beside the trap. The next day after we sorted them off they kind of split in to two groups. Some were already on the feed and getting after it and some were walking the fence bawling at momma. I got tired of hearing it so we took the cows to some other pastures about a mile in so the calves couldn't see or hear them the next morning. By after lunch, maybe 6hrs or so later, there was silence and the calves had all grouped up in to one herd. They were all feeding, then going to water, then laying down, then repeating. I have never had good luck fence line weaning and this was another example. The younger side of the calves were mostly the ones walking the fence and they definitely assimilated faster once the momma cows were gone. [/QUOTE]
