[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 558874, member: 539"] I'm not going to argue that it is highly beneficial, but it is not crucial and many calves adjust and do just fine. Would I recommend weaning earlier than 6-7 months on a whim? Absolutely not! The fact remains that it is, generally speaking, difficult to get a calf that is used to nursing his/her mother transitioned over to a bottle, and fighting a calf who has lost his/her mother to make it take the bottle only stresses it further. Sometimes a person has to know when to quit, and find alternative methods. [/QUOTE]
