Calf weaning

Another job Andrew managed to achieve this week, was weaning the big calves that are nearly as big as their mummys, off their mummys!! We do this by simply having a fence or in this particular case, shed gate, between them so that they can see eachother and talk to eachother but just not access the milk. It is low stress for the cows and calves doing it this way. The cows are due with their next calves very soon and to be honest are probably pleased to be having a break!!
