Hi Folks,
Do most of you separate yearlings from their mothers just prior to the mothers calving again in the spring ?
These yearlings were weaned at 6 months old(Octoberish) . At 8 months old, they were put back in with their mothers for the winter.
My concern was if I left the yearlings in with their mothers, they would push the newborn calf out of the way to get to mom's milk.
Thanks, Mike
