[RC] Weaning - more questions - Rosalie MarleyI got a flyer in the mail the other day for this thing. What are your opinions? http://horsingaroundllc.com/ezeewean/index.htm I have two pastures about 15 acres each, separated by a 20 foot alley. Mares/nursing foal in one, stallion and riding gelding in the other. Fences are 4- strand electric wire on wooden posts. Pros and cons of weaning by just moving the little guy in with the gelding and stallion (foal's sire), or using this contraption? Foal has never been with the other two, just interacts with them through the fences. Although by weaning time, I might have put the stallion in to breed the mares (I purposly skipped foal heat since I wanted later foals next year.) I'm still deciding how to manage the breeding part (supervised in the round pen or loose in the field.) I'm also looking into gelding the foal before weaning, if that makes any difference.
