[QUOTE="dun, post: 1104986, member: 34"] There are a lot of dairys anymore that don;t bother raising heifers. The breed everything to an angus or Hereford and sell all the claves. 8 week is about the norm for weaning bottle calves. Calves that size and age are going to require grain to keep them grwing, their rumens just aren;t developed enough to get enough nutrition from just hay or grass no matter how god it is. [/QUOTE]
