Newly weaned steer calves at ‘Heatherleigh’.
We are well into our calf weaning now with only one mob to go. Amanda recently attended a session run by animal handling expert, Dr Kev Sullivan, and we have been using his techniques with our calves in the yards. Kev thinks that weaning should be yard training and not just weaning so we have spent time each day with our calves, training them to move around the yards and through gates quietly. We have found the process very successful.
