[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1069388, member: 20599"] Howdy all, I searched the website for a thread on the length of time calves should be kept apart from dams for weaning, and found just this: [url=http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3755&p=14333&hilit=weaning+length+of+time#p14333]viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3755&p=14333&hilit=weaning+length+of+time#p14333[/url] We are 3 days into our first weaning (we're using fenceline weaning) and are getting wildly conflicting advice on the length of time they should be apart. I've heard everything from 4 days to a month now. Help? Calves are 6 months old, give or take a week or so. We'd planned to keep them apart about 10 days, but the above thread has me questioning whether that's long enough... Also, how closely do you need to watch the udders to make sure they're drying up w/o any issues? Signs to watch for re mastitis? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
