[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1269274, member: 24027"] We wean from 6 - 8 months (Angus, Angus/Hereford) depending on the quality of forage & current market. We lost a 7 month old heifer one year; she died trying to abort. Unusual for her age but it clearly can happen. We also had an "oops" breeding, compliments of the neighbors bull, that resulted in a C-section & subsequently selling the heifer after she recovered. Lessons learned the hard way so we now pull the bulls a minimum of 6 weeks before we wean & Lutalyse all the heifers at weaning (even the ones we don't plan to retain). Retained heifers are pelvic measured at 11 months when they get their BANGS & bred to a low birth weight (avg 69 lbs) calving ease Angus bull at 15 months. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
