[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1369962, member: 24027"] We wean by the Farmers Almanac best days and I have no clue if it makes a difference. As a general rule we move the weanlings to a pasture across the road from their mamas where they can still see/hear them and (knock wood) so far we've never had a calf or mama try to bust through the fence and they usually stop bawling within a couple days. When we wean stragglers or fall calves we generally put them with the retained/bred heifers, similar to Brute 23, and it does seem to help. We don't creep feed the calves but cube year 'round so they're already eating them (the majority are even hand-feeders) and that also seems to make a difference - not a huge change in diet. We're actually weaning tomorrow, hopefully status quo. [/QUOTE]
