Have to smile 😁 Weaning time can be a noisy time of year 😂 Not sure if you are interested in the voice of experience or not but since you made this video public, I aim to offer one person's experience with weaning; mine. Your cows look great!! Calves too!! No problem at weaning at the age you are doing it. I do the same. Couple words of caution to you- watch that your bull calf doesn't try to nurse on the heifer calf; it could cause her udder to never produce milk for her own calves eventually and you might never know until after she calves in with her first calf. Second word of caution- never trust a bull- of any age. Your bull calf is coming to mating age and thus has testosterone coming in. They naturally get more aggressive during and after this stage. Please be careful!! And Never and I do mean NEVER- ever ever ever touch a bull of any age on the face. Neck and back are fine, but head and face is an invitation to disaster. Tame obedient gentle bulls kill unsuspecting farmers Every Single Year!! That shaking of the head is a warning. That behavior should be addressed every and any time it is directed at you. For your own safety. Best wishes to you all there. Oh btw, don't be surprised if it takes a month or longer before the calves won't try to nurse. And that behavior he is redirecting to you is a test of domination. You absolutely Must win that encounter every time. A heavy stick or riding crop to the nose should go far in that training.
Thank you for a very interesting and informative article ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .

Oh, one more thing- in your training with your bull- he should never enter your space without permission. Ever.

I don't have cows yet,but trying to learn for the future
I can now get myself a cow!
Read Exodus 21: 28-36.
About unruly ox.
Martin car gas
Milk Lisa and make some of the best home made ice cream you ever ate.
Longhorns are Cattle, beef cows. She may have an abundance of milk, but, guaranteed she won't let you milk her. Not that kind of cow.
You'd have to tie her up and all four legs and possibly trank her to milk her. 😜
Your pastures look overgrazed.
Really? It is Fall. Grass generally stops growing. By what metrics do you make your observation?
