[QUOTE="circlet, post: 259696, member: 3753"] we all have our own operations and ideas, so i guess weaning really depends on what you're doing with your calves, your pasture, your herd's overall health/performance etc etc. my father-in-law weans at 9-10 months and he really doesn't have any problems with open cows or poor milkers or anything like that, but he has a very high quality herd and some irrigated pastures. i personally think you ought to wean at about 6 months then sell them at about 7-9 months. as a side note for discussion/argument, i read an article a couple years ago that led me to try to keep the calves in a pasture adjacent to momma after i wean (yes i have a good fence and yes every once in awhile somebody makes their way back to their mom) but i think it really does reduce the stress on the calves so they adjust quicker.
