[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 610718, member: 968"] If you don't have the proper feed for the cows, it is a LOT CHEAPER to feed the calves than to feed the cows to feed the calves - if you are concerned about the BCS of the cows. Calves can be kept healthy & growing a lot younger than 3.5 months of age at weaning. As suggested, it's best if you can set up a "creep" area for the calves to get started on a high quality grain prior to weaning if at all possible. There will be a lot less stress at weaning. Be sure your health program is up to date. You want vaccinations & deworming done. You are already LATE for breeding your cows, if you had wanted to keep the same calving dates. [/QUOTE]
