[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 175717, member: 2653"] I wouldn't refer to what they were doing as natural weaning. I would call it natural mis-management. Kind of like the post someone put up about the farm that had no bulls.....and wondered why their calf crop was getting worse. Seriously, the moma cow will start to produce colostrum up to a month before she gives birth. If a big calf is sucking on her, even just a little bit, the yearling will get all of the colostrum, and the new calf will not be as healthy. [/QUOTE]
