[QUOTE="novaman, post: 812764, member: 2744"] With a 7 month old calf she is probably well on her way to drying up. I've had a couple milk cows run as a beef cow supporting a calf. If they have just one calf on them they will be pretty well dried up by the time the calf is weaned at around 7 months. One calf doesn't take everything she can produce so she drops off in production early in lactation. My guess is what little she is producing the calf is taking it all. You can't make a cow produce better once she has dropped way off. She has to freshen again to bring the production up. Good luck [/QUOTE]
