[QUOTE="Muletrack, post: 1670257, member: 30827"] I've learned a little about wintering calves on cows in the snow being a fall-calver in North Dakota. We feed hay almost half the year -- almost got to unless in a cover crop situation. Weaning? That's easy when you just put the steers on the truck in May. All I'm looking to do it cut hay feeding by about a month, and started this year by bale grazing to keep them out on hay aftermath pasture until about Thanksgiving. My calves do best in the deep winter when they have free access to good hay apart from the cows. I have a creep hay area. We castrate bulls when they come into the yard -- that's at about three months for some of the oldest. I think Greg Judy's no-wean policy is unique for his operation, and the type of cow he raises. I'm debating whether to sell at weaning this spring, or keep the steers on native pasture into September. The drought is a big concern. [/QUOTE]
