[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1669097, member: 40587"] I'd wean them or cut them or both. I had a place rented, about a 10 acre bermuda hay field and 3 acres of woods with a spring in it. Had a pol\e barn I could store hay in. About 30 miles form the house. One October, after rodeo season was over, I put about 25 roped-out Corriente steers and heifers there. Come January or February, I sent the steers to a contractor to use for steer wrestling, and took the heifers to my pasture where I kept all of the Corriente brood cows, to breed. Young dude who lived in a house beside this place, that helped put up the hay every time we baled, asked me about putting his 2 Jeresy bottle claves he had bought in May, in the pasture for the winter. I told him if he'd check on the cows and put out hay when they needed it, that he could do that. Save me form going over there every other day or so. These calves would have been about 5 months old in October. I never thought to ask, I guess i just assumed these were Jeresy steers he had bottle raised. Or maybe heifers. I had seen them in his yard that summer when we would cut hay, but just from a distance. So, I go to move my cattle in January, and took the heifers to the cow pasture to be bred for Oct-Nov calves. Well, most of the heifers started dropping dammed half Jeresy calves July and August! Not a cross that there is a good market for! [/QUOTE]
