[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 114660, member: 13"] We raised Registered Angus and the bull test station pretty well dictates our weaning times. We want the bulls to be 45 days weaned when we deliver them to test. Our Jan/Feb bulls will be delivered early in October, so we'll be weaning them later this week. We're also going to wean the one March bull calf; he's young, but so is his mother and she can stand the break. We got them up week before last and gave them shots. When we wean them, we'll give them boosters, weigh them, and shut them up in the corral with hay and water. Their dams will be able to come up to the corral and smell of them through the fence as long as they're interested, generally three days. After they've started ignoring their dams and watching for the feed bucket, we'll turn them out in a small pasture near the barn and move their dams to a pasture where they can't see each other. We've had some rain (yea!), so there will be decent grass for them, but we'll start them on a growth ration and keep that up until we deliver them for test in October. We'll just leave the March bull calf with the heifers until December when his age group delivers to test. Vaccinations are very important. Good luck... [/QUOTE]
