Weaning

We weaned early this year because of the drought.  We fence-line wean, which means instead of locking the calves in the corral and moving the cows a ways off, we put the calves across the fence from the cows for a few days so they can still find each other.  By the third day both the cows and calves are usually settled and grazing instead of pacing the fence.  The calves tend to fare a little better and not get as sick because it is less stressful. But you always have a couple of calves crawl through the fence and that is what has happened in these pictures.  Jason had to rope it and drag it back in with the calves.
