What we looking at? I'm assuming it's something to stop calves from suckling. We just parted them. Mary's been a dream, at 8 months she's had enough, Greeny, last year born wasn't even bothering by August (9 month old) and after the TB test, i separated them and neither cared. Offered Mary to her the next day, never sucked, wasn't interested and bag was drying up so thought sod it.

Hannah was 3 week old yesterday and am hoping she'll be the same next year! She's as bad as pups, she has zoomies across the field, currently electric between her and the sheep, only couple more days then they all going together to scrap over the grass!
