[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1842471, member: 6291"] This was done because we had very bad drought conditions and ended up with a small group of calves born at a bad time. They were pulling the cows down and were not putting on the weight like they should. We chose to wean early, feed the calves, and rest the cows. In a normal year they would have stayed on the cows. This is not some thing I hope we have to do on a regular basis. So far it has been in our favor because we did get some timely rains. The cows are bouncing back and calf prices continue to rise.
