[QUOTE="X344chap, post: 6520949, member: 54754"] We made the decision that animal welfare had to be high - hence calling out the vet when required - but yes there is a commercial decision point that is reached. Calves were too old to be legally ringed and we didnt have any experience with the burdizzos which you can only use up to 8 weeks. Fields are now better managed and there's a load of manure to be spread for next year. We enjoyed having the boys and i can honestly say that they were well looked after. Its not the same without them so - we are going to have another go ! It would be a shame to waste the jackets. [/QUOTE]
