[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 393282, member: 4353"] how well light weaners sell is a regional thing, but Bez's suggestion seems the more logical one to me. I know Caustic Burno does it the same way, you might want to send him a PM and discuss his methods. To feed calves to save pasture is going to make a very small contribution to your pasture. As a rule of thumb you reckon the calves' share of pasture as the extra 10% you need. In other word if you need 135 acres to run 60 cows with calves (theoretically), you could run 60 dry cows on 122.7acres. I know its nonsensical, but my point was to show you that you will win very little in weaning the calves that young in terms of pressure off your pasture. if you are set on feeding them out, give me a PM and i'll make my suggestions, but in my opinion its unlikely to pay according to your calculations.
