If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

Yes it is Mike. When it gets quiet is when you worry.

Have you tried fence line weaning? The idea is rather than removing the calves from the mother's sight you separate them with a fence (obviously it had better be sturdy). This is supposed to be less stressful on the calves and they take off eating better and have less health problems.

I tried the nose paddles this year for weaning calves.....put them in on Sunday afternoon and removed them on Saturday.....worked better than I had ever dreamed. use Quiet Wean nose paddles. My neighbor poo-pooed it and had that know-it-all grin on his face. After I put the paddles in, I called him on each of the next three days and asked him if he could hear anything. Said he couldn't hear a thing.
I did not lose any paddles and it went very smooth.
