[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1846883, member: 40587"] That's how most do it here. Conventional wisdom is you want to trailer wean calves at 6 mos, over 400 lbs but not much over 500. A weaned calf, to include retained replacements, is eating grass a pregnant or nursing cow could be eating. Down here, if you want to succeed in the cattle business,, you need to first be in the grass business. The bulls, your cow lines, supplements, vitamins, meds etc, are all important, but your main focus needs to be learning all you can about grass, fertilizer, etc. As we are losing 100's of thousands of acres a year to development in the south, utilizing what ag land there is in the most efficient way is crucial.
