[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1757100, member: 16453"] I might have missed it but I don't recall anyone mentioning early weaning as a drought strategy. I have weaned down to 6-8 weeks to take the load off the cows. My Q cows ( just having their 2nd calves now) were in fact early weaned with a couple down to 6 wks, they were still AI'd at 14mths and most conceived on the 1st insemination and this group was very good with rebreeding as well and most have their 2nd calf on the ground now. I do of course feed them when early weaned, I keep them growing at 1-1.5kg/day. It allows me to put put my cows into my 600 acre scrub/drought block to forage for roughage with a little protein meal supplement. Works for me. Ken [/QUOTE]
