Wean your calves the stress-free way

Wean your calves in a stress-free, two-stage process.
Calves weaned in this two-stage process greatly out-perform those weaned in the conventional way

What to do

Insert nose flap at 4-7 months of age.
Leave the calves with their mothers.
While the flaps are on, the calves can not get at the udder, so go in search of other food.
Remove flaps and separate calves from mothers.
Wash and re-use.

Benefits

As the calves are already used to eating grass / creep feed, they  rapidly start gaining weight.
Stress is greatly reduced for calves.
A conventionally-weaned calf takes up to 19 days to regain its pre-weaning weight following the stress of weaning.
The findings of Quiet Wean are that the calves continue to grow and  sickness is greatly reduced
