[QUOTE="expensive hobby, post: 863559, member: 17104"] I just put my heifer calves in the barn yard (9 days ago) for weaning since I plan on keeping them. Normally I would keep them off of the mommas for 30 days but the weather has been quite an issue. Its been raining a ton and the barn yard is now a mud hole. The calves do have dry areas in the barn but no hay/water there. The calves have to trudge through the mud to get to hay and water and I am kind of nervous knowing that these conditions are not good for weaning. I would like to get them back out to pasture ASAP. How long does it for the mommas to dry up? The calves are on 2nd cut grass hay/grain and appear to be eating well . They seem to be healthy other than a bit of weight loss from the initial few days when they were first taken off of the cows. Any suggestions would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
