EasyWean allows a 2 Step Weaning process.
1. Dry up lactation but maintain cow/calf bond without stress or a setback in performance.
- Calves continue to grow through the weaning period instead of losing weight.
- Cow condition also improves, enhancing chances for the following pregnancy.
2. Separate cow and calf AFTER weaning, if necessary. A single herd is now an
- Stress will be greatly reduced on both cow & calf if separation occurs after lactation has ceased.
- The value of the weight gain will more than pay for the cost of the nosering, on first use.
- How much does weaning really cost you now?
- Feeding in yards or separation between paddocks not necessary. No more noise, hay feeding or fence repairs.
- Calves continue to grow through the weaning period and cow condition improves enhancing chances for the following pregnancy.
- Potential for heifers to reach joining weight sooner.
- A HIGH QUALITY, REUSEABLE product. Easy to see, UV stabilized, acetal plastic ... with a memory to keep it's tension! Stainless steel fastener to resist corrosion.

The Proof
- International trials show heifers weaned with a nosering and left in the herd to run with their mothers, were 30kg heavier at joining than conventionally weaned heifers.
- Australian graziers experienced a 0.7kg/day weight gain during the weaning period.
- International feedlot trial indicates additional profit of $50/animal due to reduced weight loss on arrival, faster stabilization on ration, higher weight gain and lower veterinary costs.
- Feeding in yards or separation between paddocks not necessary. No more noise, hay feeding or fence repairs.
- Larger, fewer mobs ..... or a single herd become management options!
- More paddocks available for grazing planning to optimize plant recovery and growth.
- More time available for calf marketing options. A well weaned calf should be worth more!
- Easy Wean is an aid to better decisions towards animal performance, pasture growth and profit.
