[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7136841, member: 63856"] Some good points there. Thanks team. My main concern is that the ten yearling calves may be a bit grizzly around afterbirths and lambs until they get used to the new situation, so I'll probably "wean them through the gate" this week by taking their mums out and putting them next door But, ten calves in the lambers is less than 40 calves and they're already used to being with the sheep the grazing calves are a bit flightier than our ones and I feel a few extra adults may help settle them a bit, as well as teach them the rest of the ranch - they've only been on the same 12ha or so since they arrived and won't know where the gateways are. The big benefit is that all the sheep fences can then go to where the sheep are instead of being used for lane fences, and all the single-wire stuff can be used for cell-grazing the cattle in smaller paddocks, which will ease the pressure over lambing [/QUOTE]
