Weaning day...
Not quite without a hitch, but Belle didn't seem overly bothered by it, but breakfast and dinner helped. I left her in the paddock she's been in; she's alone at the moment, so I may try Dolly in with her tomorrow and see how that goes.
I decided to try turning Sophia out with the girls, just a few minor skirmishes, but nothing too serious. I do need a couple more feeders for evening mush meal; as I feed it al fresco out in their paddock, so they share. The existing herd shares nicely, but Sophia doesn't quite fit in, yet; hope it doesn't take too long. She could have tried Dolly, as she probably would have shared without hesitation, but she tried all the other girls, and they weren't too keen on sharing, so there was a bit of squealing and kicking to go around. Will need to come up with a couple more feeders, just not sure what I'll use, yet; but we have some half barrel feeders for the heifers, so may just grab a couple of those (or see if Shayne will split one and make two horse feeders).
