Breaking Sale calves

[SWIAcattleman]

This is the first year we will have a sizable amount of spring horns to break to be available for sale in the fall. I was just wondering how everyone goes about breaking calves, when they start and when they wean.

Thanks in advance!

We will run them through a chute this weekend and give shots and do a rough clip out on them.  We then will start at the end of May doing a little more work with halters. Spending lots of time out and around them before beginning the breaking process has been very beneficial to help get them really comfortable around you.  We will day wean beginning in June with them tied up in front of fans and more detailed clipping jobs. We usually do a  final complete wean in early July.
