[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 901727, member: 8829"] Alan we have seen a upto 5% loss in gain at weaning but have noticed little difference after weaning and preconditioning for 45-60days My Vet and I had this discussion a few yrs ago and IIRC he said as high as 7% I have read a few studies on this and I was thinking the ones I read were from Nebraska you might do a search and see what some of the research says If I was going to wait until 3 months I would just wait until weaning also the differences we seen were in calves castrated at weaning compared to calves castrated at birth [/QUOTE]
