5. We have a problem in weaning our yearlings in that we have only two pastures that are relatively close to each other. Both pastures are bordered by a shaky old barbed-wire fence and a single strand of hot wire. While this will tend to keep the whole herd in most of the time, it will not keep either the cows or the yearlings in when they are less than a mile apart and can hear each other bawling. I know there has been recent research that shows weaning yearlings within the same pasture for a few days will take away much of the stress, but the calves are still usually taken away to a distant pasture. Would it be possible for us to do this within the same pasture for, say, two weeks till the cows went dry and then turn the calves back out? Published: February 26, 2008

10. One of the questions that I had was the potential risks of beef cows developing nitrate toxicity as the result of grazing cornstalks following corn harvest. I was contemplating swathing a field of corn that didn't have very much corn in it for my cows to graze but decided against this after the sample that I sent in indicated that the whole plants contained 1600 ppm of nitrate-N.
