[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 777958, member: 9933"] A 7 week old calf is old enough to wean. I know a rancher who runs 3000 sheep and also buys several hundred feeders each year. He gets a few pregnant heifers in with these young cattle every year. When I was there the other day he had four 3 month old calves in with a large group of lambs. I asked about feeding them, and he told me they bucket feed with milk replacer for one month. Calves had access to the lambs ration from birth. At one month of age the calves are weaned on to a good balanced feed and pasture. These calves looked real good. Check with your feed store and have them recommend a good calf starter to get your calf growing. [/QUOTE]
