[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1405824, member: 25884"] X 2 . Most dairy farmers will figure 6-10 weeks, or about 1 bag replacer per animal. It is very true that it depends on how much they are eating. I will keep them on milk for about 12 weeks and they have to be eating good before I will wean them. I also go to once a day for about 2 weeks then stop. But I try to mostly raise calves on a nurse cow and they will stay on as long as normal beef calves 6+ months. They really grow better that way, and it is alot less expensive than feeding alot of grain. [/QUOTE]
