[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1269114, member: 21194"] [b]1. How old should those crossbred calves be before they are weaned?[/b] I wean calves at about 8 months old. Others will wean anywhere from 6 to 9 months. [b]2. How old will they be before they are fertile? And how young is too young?[/b] The onset of fertility can vary widely from breed to breed, and between individuals within a breed. They will occasionally get bred before they’re weaned if there is a bull in the pasture with them. [b]3. How old should they be before they take the bull?[/b] I generally put the bull with mine when they’re 15 months old. [/QUOTE]
