Good weaning programs are important to minimize stress on calves and prepare them to perform as stockers, feeders and replacement heifers. Fenceline weaning works well because the cows and calves can see and hear each other, which reduces stress on both groups. A key to successful fenceline weaning is to separate the cows and calves with as little excitement as possible. An ideal weaning pasture would be about 5 to 30 acres in size, have good shade along the fence line and have a good water source within a few hundred yards of the fence.
