Weaning

The cattle at a farm we rent haven't been doing well lately.

J says the calves have been losing weight over the last couple of weeks. It looks like they have been eating acorns of which there is an over abundance this year. Acorns in large amounts are not good for cattle. Ultimately, they can cause kidney failure and death in severe cases. There is no antidote, just removal from the source.
Therefore, we had to round them up, wean the calves and take them to a different location away from any oak trees.
It's always a little upsetting to think of the cows still looking for their calves. But hopefully, everyone will be better off.
