[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 105653, member: 9"] Dee had some decent advice. We wean ours at about 205 days. Mama can feed them better and cheaper than we can + they are also eating grass, etc., to supplement milk from a couple of weeks of age and on. Frequent exposure to the calves is important. Just visit them frequently, hold your hand out, be very still, let them lick your hand, offer them a handful of hay or grass, eventually most will let you pet them. All have different personalities and trust levels with humans. To repeat, "frequent" contact and exposure to humans is important. Plus talk to them, get them used to your voice; it will come in handy when you are trying to work with them later. [/QUOTE]
