Do you hear that?

We'll have more details tomorrow...

Hint, it has to do with weaning, but the answer will not be what you expect.

Friday Update
We used a product called Quiet Wean on our sale calves and a few others and are pleased with the results.  Calves are much quieter and we barely hear anything from the cows.

Sale Calves Are Being Weaned

All 2012 sale calves are being weaned as of today, we're trying a new experiment to reduce stress on both the calves, the mothers, fences, and us.

Sale calves are sired by Boardwalk, Eye Candy, Highliner, Mercedes Benz, and Monopoly.

Once the weaning is over, we will be halter breaking the 9 other steers.  5 heifers and 1 steer are halter broke now.
