Weaning Our First Round of Calves

Weaning Calves! We are a few weeks behind on the farm, but we are finally weaning some of our calves. Most of these calves were born late fall 2019. We will be keeping all the heifers and breeding them once they reach maturity. Some of the steers will be finished out and processed for beef locally. Some will be shipped out west in a couple months, finished out and processed out there. All of our calves are hormone and antibiotic free. The first pasture we caught calves in is a rented pasture. It does not have a catch lot so we used our Priefert panels to make a catch lot. Luckily it worked out well. We were able to get all the calves inside and successfully load them. The second pasture we caught calves in is a pasture Eric owns. It originally was his grandparents property. They have passed it along to him. It joins up to the 20 acres we bought and recently cleaned up. Typically when we are catching multiple pastures in a day, we will unload at our barn where we can sort them at the end of the day and move them to where they need to be.
