[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1852572, member: 38038"] Dairy calves are usually weaned at around 6 weeks of age, so weaning at 3 months would be no big deal. dairy calves are generally introduced to feed at 1 week and are eating good by the six weeks. If you have a way to start creep feeding, that would be the best way to wean early if they are eating feed. Make sure they also have good quality grass/alfalfa hay after weaning. the calf starter can be mixed with cracked corn or oats to lower your feed cost ones they are eating good. can't say feeding or selling is the best way to go since both have advantages and disadvantages.
