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.

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!! I fenceline weaned this year. It worked great.
