[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 411423, member: 968"] If the cow is milking good, no suppliment is necessary. When you think the cow is not doing her job, and the calf is suffering (weight wise) it is time to wean him. I would NOT recommend locking him up in a stall. He needs exercise. Locking him up temperally to wean him is fine for a short period of time (week) til he will respect a fence to keep him seperated. Ideally, you would wean when he is about 6-8 months of age, provide a shelter with an outside lot for exercise. Provide hay, grass and or grain to keep gaining around 2-3# per day. Also, very important, he and all the cattle should be receiving loose granular mineral year round supplimented with Selenium for New York. [/QUOTE]
