I have designed a device that will ease the weaning process ,by allowing the calf to walk with the mother in the pastures at her side , with a device inserted into the nose of the calf,allowing the calf to eat grass but not to be able suckle on the mother.

you will get 100% weaning ratios, no bellowing, no weight loss, no harm at all .

drop me a mail and Iwill gladly send you some detaills on the product.

kind regards

I learned of fenceline procedures from Dr Ron Gill and Dr Paschal from Texas Agrilife Ext Service at one of the Texas A & M Cattle Beef Short Courses. So, last year-after installing another pump with Solar Cells, I set the water trough mid fenceline and decided that since I have a 23 acre pasture open with grass, cut the calves from the cows and run them into the 23 acre pasture. It really works great and even now, I take a seperate bale over to the calves and they are starting to eat from my hand. Going to market probably in February or March with 11 black baldies that have the same dispositions as their Mamas.

I fenceline weaned this year. It worked great. I creep fed for about 2 weeks in August. Then the feral hogs found the creep feeder. In september I would pen the cows and calves(55 of each), let the cows out and then feed the calves. It was real easy after the second or third time.

When weaning time came I didn’t let the calves out, just increased feed. 10 days later i hauled to town to weigh and work. It was great!!
